It is a multiplayer Co-Op mission for ARMA III. The goal of this project is to make a guerrilla warfare scenario for ARMA III, hugely influenced by a similar mission by Barbolani: Antistasi (http://www.a3antistasi.enjin.com/).
You should download the mission from steam workshop. The GitHub releases are severely outdated. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1964186045
For running on your dedicated server, install the folder you download from Workshop as a mod.
- Multi-level AI (commander, garrison, group, unit level) which can plan ahead and execute different tasks (attacks on spotted targets/locations, sending reinforcements, dispatching patrols, managing its logistics)
- Unit caching system, which lets AIs far away perform actions while being despawned without draining server performance
- Gaining intel about enemy forces at outposts and about future actions performed by enemy commander (convoys, attacks, etc)
- Usage of the gathered intel to perform tactical maneuvers (intercepting convoys, withdrawing our own forces prior to attack, etc)
- Convenient UI for commanding forces of player's faction
- Dynamic creation of new locations (camps, roadblocks, etc) by enemy and player side
- Undercover system which takes into account player's loadout, actions, exposure in vehicle
The project is in 'Alpha' stage. Most of the features are implemented.

- Most of the code is being developed with OOP-Light (https://github.com/Sparker95/OOP-Light), a custom OOP implementation for SQF. OOP paradigm helps to produce manageable code for complex systems.
- Low level AI is being handled by a custom GOAP (Goal-Oriented Action Planning) AI framework. GOAP is a technology which was first used in fameous F.E.A.R. first person shooter. GOAP should help manage the complexity of creation of complex AI behaviours that involve replannable chains of actions.
