Game against AI crashes

I like to solitaire the Global 1940 but the AI is weak, although much better than it was 5 years ago.
I don’t know coding, I can’t help in any way, but I would love a really strong AI that was basically invincible and I’d be happy to have it take a long time to make decisions.
Just wondering what the state of play of better AI is, and I’m curious are there superior A&A AIs elsewhere on the web.

@trent15 good day. That is how it works . For big battles , it is best to ask your opponent his choice of casualties, however . Although, You could establish a few basic rules, before you start playing and it is always politeness to ask whether your opponent wants to scramble.
Enjoy your games.

… The developers don’t want to.

Really? Where do they say so? I must have missed that.  :?

Have you spoken to them? They don’t say it in so many words.

Anyway, some of the reluctance is breaking save game compatibility and moving on the new version. I’ve submitted a new PR which fixes some of the issues which can be fixed while keeping compatibility. Not the submerge bugs, mostly.

There’s plenty of reason not to break save game compatibility. A lot of the old version functionality was broken in 1.9 for reasons I can’t fathom.

This is not a normal behaviour of course.

You have the latest Java Runtime Environment (7u65) installed?

the AI is really just a novelty used for learning how to use the triplea controls and user interface, and for practicing a map for the first time ever

playing other people is what the game is about

i have no plans to do any work on the AI at all

Axis and Allies was meant to be played by MEN, not MACHINES!

An AI intelligent enough, could become Artificial.  I mean, if it knows when to rock out a good gamble, that could be dangerous! :P

For the record, I don’t “look” ahead in most of my games, other than for the obvious - “Oh they are going to take a shot at the capital” kind of stuff.  If the AI just did what it had to do to get it’s NO’s, and focus on the economics, it would be deadly enough.

What is the particular problem you are having?

Hey I got it to work!
