Mine Off option is not working in 2.0 ?

I have mines turned off in the preferences, but long campaign AI still deploy them.

Mines OFF only means they won't blow up when you enter the hex not that they won't be bought. From the tests I've run thats exactly what's happening. Are they exploding in your game??

Nop, seems they not exploding. So if AI waste points on it, that mean AI more weak with this option, correct ?

The mines, though turned off, will still require more of your MP to move though so they are not entirely "wasted" by the AI in that they still slow you down and make you pick your way through them. The "Mines Off" option is a "beginners" option to make assaulting easier for those players not fully experienced with the game. With "Mines Off" they won't blow up under the AI either .

I'm guessing "mines off" is a global variable that can't be set locally for each field? A one point "turned off" minefield would be a perfect dummy minefield.

It's a global. There are no "individual" mine fields in the game

In fact I've found out you can turn mines on and off in the middle of the game.

That's correct. The game has worked that way for years.
