In a game for drops, I was attacking Communist Russia AI and had pretty much killed all if it's units and had all my units near or within it's borders for several days waiting for a drop. Instead of getting a drop in comm russia or nearby i got one in Nice Fraance which is way the hell away from where I was. I mean it wasn't hard to march some tanks and planes down there in 24 hours but it is stupid and annoying.

I don't think the amount of troops near is a consideration, nor even if you are at war with someone. I suspect all provs one or two provs out of your current borders have an equal chance.
i'm pretty sure it is normally correlated with where you units are and who you are at war with. This is the first breach in the contract that I have encountered.
Maybe it takes into account your current power. i mean i moved some tacs down there and killed all of AI fracne in a day without a single ground unit, not that tacs are op or anything, i would never say that, not me.
I've had them lead me to start three different wars, each 48 hours after the last. Enemy the first and second drops sent me to were still there and fighting back when the third drop, four days later, was in a third country.
In most cases, the next drop would be in the same country as the last, if it is still there; but not always. I guess, count yourself lucky you haven't encountered this, yet.
Correct, troops near the crate are not considered. In fact it is good that it does not always drop near your army, otherwise collecting the crates would be a piece of cake.K.Rokossovski wrote:

Nah, troops don't play a role. As long as the chosen province has a certain distance to your own provinces, also countries with whom you are at peace are eligible, same as those who you are at war with. Only allied countries are excluded.DxC wrote:

It shouldn't, if another country is eligible for a drop the system will prefer that country over the country where the last drop occured. If there is no second option, it will of course drop again in the same country.WiseOdin wrote:

Actually we wanted to prevent players from farming them in custom maps (thats why small maps cant have supply drops), but I guess that is still what is happening with the 22p maps :p

90% of the time it has chosen the same country I am at war with until there are about 4-6 provs left, then it switches.freezy wrote:
