Training management

Post by robinh »

Can the COO be taught to automatically adjust the training level?
That's the only boring micromanagement I have to do after I delegate all my factories and stores to him.
The script could be simple: max utilization - max training, less than 50% utilitation - no training and spread the rest in between. That's how I do it anyway. Can this be coded?

You may just observe AI's firms and see if you are happy with AI's abilities in setting the right level of training. If so, it is possible to extend that AI code to COO.

Good, I have never thought of spying on the AI :D
It seems to work very well, sometimes I would just set the level higher in anticipation of higher demand.

Well, let's see if more players apreciate it but if is just another optional check-box for automatic training level than noone can complain that it is there :D

Well, neither your poll nor initial post mentioned "option" :)

As long they quit training when all units are at level 9, I wouldn't have anything to complain about. I haven't research the current AI's behavior. But I never trust a strange computer.

Sorry, of course I wanted it to be an option, not to force it on anybody.
And yep, the AI is good enough to stop training at level 9 or when the capacity is unused already.

The latest post-release beta 2.1.00 version has added the option to let COO set the training budget for you:

Fantastic, that's one less thing to worry about :D

The only weak place is the training levels on farms. Once there is enough supply to cover the demand the COO thinks it's not necessary to train. But I want to to have better quality products. So I max the training spending until I have level 7-8 and only then let my COO manage it to get the bonus and get to level 9.
