Description
This Mod adds proper Suppression Garrison Templates for all Nations in order to fix a broken Suppression Garrison Ai. Also it fixes an issue with the Russian NKVD Garrison Unit which gimped Russian Economy severely!

Since the latest Add-on La Resistance which changed how Suppression Garrisons work the AI is broken in regards to choosing a Template for Suppression! This Mod aims to fix this Issue.

The AI will purposedly gimp itself by choosing overly expensive Templates including Tanks and Artillery Battalions for Suppression just because they are smaller in amount of battalions!

Yes the Ai will ALWAYS choose the smallest sized template it has available! It does not care about cost per suppression or manpower per suppression at all sadly! When I gave the Ai a "proper" template of 20width cav + Mp support i.e. the Ai wouldn't take it. It will never take it no matter how good it is sadly!

I have found nothing in the game files to change this behavior, sadly it seems hard-coded to me. ( I even checked the 00_defines.lua for it)

This Mod fixes the problem by giving every nation a 1 Cav battalion Template for small countries and 2cav battalions + 1 armored car battalion + MP attachement for the Major countries.

The AI will now only choose this Template for Suppression due to its hardcoded behavior of only taking the smallest template!

This way the AI stops at least gimping itself with way too expensive garrison units! (I added the template to all countries for both the 1936 and 1939 start date)

It also fixes problems with the Russian Templates. (Russia had MP Support on Defensive units not meant for suppression. I removed hat MP Support Attachment so Russia will waste less Resources.)

I always play the game with this now because of the horrible things I saw the AI do when tag switching to other nations I cannot un-see it anymore... ^^

---------------------------------------------------

Full Change Log:
Update 14/06/2020
-increased the size of the Russian paratrooper template of 1936 to 4 battalions instead of 2 so the Russian AI won't try to pick Paratroopers as Suppression now! Nice! :D

Update 20/05/202
-Changed all Major Country Template Files (FRA, ITA, GER, ENG, ♥♥♥, USA) (1936 and 1939 start date) by adding 1 addional Template called "Military Police" containing 1 Armored Car Battalion, 2 Cavalry Battalion + MP support. I gave the USA 3 Cav +MP for 1936 as they have no armored car tech unlocked at the start.

Initial Release:
-Changed all Country Template Files(1936 and 1939 start date) by adding 1 additional Template called "Military Police" containing 1 Cavalry Battalion and nothing else.
-removed the Military Police support attachment from the standard NKVD Russian Garrison Army Unit Template as it only drained Russian resources and had no benefit since the new Resistance System has been introduced.


---------------------------------------------------

Compatibility:

This mod is compatible with any mod that does not change the starting templates or units of countries. If another mod just changes the naval files and naval units then this mod will be compatible.

---------------------------------------------------

Ending Notes:

I hope Paradox will address this bug themselves in the future as it clearly does not work as intended but until then this workaround will do the job! Help spread the word of this unnecessary bug so Paradox fixes this earlier and not just in a year! Free to discuss in the comments!

---------------------------------------------------

Feel free to integrate the code of my Mod into your own Mod/Mods as you see fit!

Take Care and Have Fun!

Thank you. You have fixed my favorite state.

Thank you for this mod and for taking the time to explain some aspects of the game, knowledge is always helpful.
I wish the devs would program an AI that would make rational choices. Being effective and efficient at their work, making the most of the hand they are given.
