What is the per_unit_scale number?

These are the best explanations I could find:

: utility - A score that is applied to the squad when all of its values are added up. Weapons, cost, and health are all taken into account. Leaving it at -1 lets the AI add all those values up, setting it to a number disables that logic.
: random_range_offset - A random number that is gotten at the beginning of the game that is applied to the utility value. It can be a positive or negative number in the range. Example; if the utility value is 100, setting the random range to 10 can make it anywhere between 90 and 110 once the ai starts.
: per_unit_scale - How much the utility value gets reduced/increased based on how many units of that type are present on the battlefield. Say, if set to 0.5, each unit alive of that time will reduce the value by half. This is mainly used to prevent the AI from spamming units it deems good.

Addition from Zycat:
per_unit_scale_historical works the same as per_unit_scale, but it's used for the entire match. If the squad dies per_unit_scale will not have an effect anymore, while historical does.


Under "ai_economy/overrides/[yourpresetname]/squads", add a new "squad_utility" in case the unit you want to adjust isn't already listed. For "blueprint", set the sbps file of the unit.

As for "per_unit_scale", I'm not 100% sure, but countless hours of testing lead me to the conclusion that this controls how many of one unit the AI will produce at all. If you set it to "0.05", countless TDs will swarm the field if the AI has the resources. Set it to "0.5" and over the course of the match you'll most likely see two at max before the AI chooses to build other tanks instead. Works different for Infantry. But again, just my guess at making sense of the variables.

Finally, the "utility". Pretty straight forward, it tells the AI what the unit is worth. Extremely inconsistent, probably a modifier to some hidden (?) base value of a unit. You'll need to experiment. Random offset should be clear.

Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money
27 Mar 2025, 15:46 PM
Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.
27 Mar 2025, 09:34 AM
Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.
27 Mar 2025, 09:32 AM
Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.
27 Mar 2025, 09:30 AM
Willy Pete: Re-releasing free DLC so they can charge new players money for it. Brilliant marketing strategy :clap:

Nickbn: @Rosbone it's incredibly rude to speak on someone elses behalf, especially when a question is directly adressed to them. I understand your passion for the subject at hand but I want to hear from him.
20 Mar 2025, 10:16 AM
Rosbone: @Nickbn No, I am just saying people should not be using any Relic owned forum since they have proven they ban anyone who says true things about Coh3.
