Ai Building Firebases next to structures

I think this should be kept more general, so that this can be reused to -for example- place all power plants together or to make the AI place certain buildings in a more structured way.

Well that would also be nice to have it like that but I think that having defense fire bases by the AI would be a really cool feature for us AI modders.

Wouldn't it be easier like this, per building:
AlliesDefendWith=[comma separated BuildingTypes]
SovietsDefendWith=[comma separated BuildingTypes]
ThirdDefendWith=[comma separated BuildingTypes]
FourthDefendWith=[comma separated BuildingTypes]...

Yes that would work but you still need to be able to choose the building it builds and the building to place them next too. and what formation.

I think Electro means you add those to the building.
So for your example:

[CAAIRP]
    ...
AlliesDefendWith=ATESLA,GAPILL,NASAM
AlliedDefenseNumbers=2,4,2

Oh If so sorry I miss understood. Thats sounds about right and would work quite well and keep clean codes ordered :)

Yeah, I thinks its the bit where he put 'per unit', that got me thinking about vehicles and infantry.

Corrected.

So, this basically means a taskforce for buildings rather than units?... interesting, I'm a strong supporter of implementing taskforces wherever possible...

Also maybe have distance tags, like DefenceCells= / AADefenceCells= so you can get the AI to place AA defences and Ground defences at certain distances from the structure.

I think if AI Builds a small base near the Building will be good.(just like my tatic)
Oh,Wait!Looks like if this logic in Ares we can delete old AI defense building logic
just use these codes to Base Buildings,and such as AI Build a Nuclear Reactor with no defense Building/troops will disappear.
