Naval Battles and AI turn lenght

[StuccoFresco]

So... why does the AI take so much time thinking about its moves in naval maps? Even with very basic commands, every AI side is thinking about how to advance in open sea, with no enemy units in sight, for a full minute.

Is the pathfinding making too many calculations? Is the map just too big (i wanted some space to maneuver multiple groups so it's 100x80)? Too many AI Groups (16)? Too many units (around 70)?

Either there are too many teams or units with the same hex to achieve. I'm currently trying to solve this issue in the land version. Have you tried using the 'defend hex' combination instead of 'capture hex'?

It would be good if took up the Russian-Japanese War of 1904-1905 (Alas, there are very few games for this war) Although I have no right to impose , perhaps has own plans )

Land battles don't have this problem and I'm sure it's not a same hex target so I'm stumped. Maybe the "naval seek and destroy" makes the AI go wild with pathfinding.

I assure You that such a problem occurs in land battles under specific conditions. Unfortunately, I don't have much experience with naval battles. In land battles, the issue is resolved through a combination of other tasks rather than 'go to hex.' In too difficult terrain or tight passageways, and with numerous units, it often leads to AI endless thing.
