# AI

##################################

- Made AI not bother with fallback orders if the area they would be defending is tiny. Makes the AI better at pushing after landing a naval invasion.

- Made unitcontroller units more decisive in where they are going, as well as various tweaks and fixes to reduce shuffling.

- Significant improvements to front balancing( Units should be far less likely to abandon parts of the front and far better at spreading units out across the front )

- Units controlled by the front should now cancel orders that are heading towards provinces that are no longer part of the front

- Fixed bug that would cause units to get very poorly assigned when an attack order auto splits ( for instance when it reaches its target at a province at the center of the order )

- Improved AI focus a little bit, making idea evaluation a little better.

- Tweaked what it means for a front to have the same value for highest and lowest prio score. Used to cause some fronts to never move.

- Made sure the AI is not trying to upgrade specialist templates before it has the tech.

- Removed mobile template designs, because the AI cannot handle them properly.

- fixed a case where AI would manage to sneek in nations it didnt actualy want in factions (like finland in axis too early) just because it really really really hated their opponents
