Allied AI builds ACHQ before War Factory

[Chanterier]

This is a trivial bug but I'm posting this anyway, because it changes original game behaviour and makes Allied AI behave differently than Soviet or Yuri's in the early game. This has some significance, especially when AI is modified - at least it is for me.

In the original Yuri's Revenge this order is different - War Factory is placed before ACHQ. Reverse order slightly influences AI's behavior

For Soviets and Yuri, the order stays the same even with Ares - first comes factory, then comes radar.

[MasterHaosis (masterhaosis)]

Hmmm... I did not notice this. Going to check.

EDIT:
Speeder seems right here. I tested with easy allied, we were Allies. After deploying Command center, he constructed power plant, barracks, Ore refinery, Airfield, then War factory

[Beowulf (genkosygin)]

Didn't the Allied AI always do that?

[Chanterier (speederyr)]

You know, I tested this before I posted. With and without Ares. It'd be better if someone else checked this for both cases and then report.

[secondwtq (secondwtq)]

My MOD's seventh side builds radar(= airpad) before Factory too.

[Graion Dilach (graiondilach)]

YR 1.001 vs. Ares 0.1.858.

Bug seems correct by test with an Easy French AI.

[WoRmINaToR (worminator)]

My allied AI seems to never even build anything past its radar.

And it builds that radar before its war fac.

[cranium (cranium)]

My mod's Allied AI builds warfactory first before radar

[Chanterier (speederyr)]

@cranium: Was that America or another country?

[cranium (cranium)]

it's another country, but they are listed in the Americans spots for both country and side. Not sure if that has any berring on the situation at hand. But they do use alot of the allied tags.

I'll try americans and see what happens...

[Graion Dilach (graiondilach)]

OK, further tests about AI build order.

If the AI can build a Paradrop SW on low tech, it will go for it. This isn't valid for UnitDeliveries, they will be built AFTER the major SWs are done (if enabled).

The originally reported bug is caused by American's Airborne.

However Yuri Mental Omega AIs doesn't have Paradrop, albeit they are broken as well...

EDIT: This is hugely complicated. My mod's AI built WF first on Bay of Pigs II and it built Radar first on Death Trap. Seems like it's connected to spacing as well.
