Thanks for the Beta Patch, I downloaded and play the main campaign as France with fog of war on, here are my comments. Austria plays fine my only comment is when they revolt their units do not move from Vienna,it would be nice if some units moved out and threatened French locations. Prussia plays great until it revolts with Austria. More units should be included in the revolt and they are to low tech and weak, make them stronger. Russia still to passive. Builds to many Calvary units over infantry units. Moscow had 4 Calvary and only 2 infantry units around it. one or two unit attacks are way to weak. Needs to send out larger forces more often. Moscow to easy to take. St. Peters defended by 2 Calvary units the wrong side of the city (swede side) so are blocked (should be infantry units as well). I see Russia as the key to making this a really great game. They have the man power and the AI needs to use it. France (I was playing France) to many production points, can max out almost all of they tech by early 1809 making units to powerful. Either boost other countries tech or reduce French tech growth. Britain This is the big problem. Starts good, Navy working well, attacking french navy and any remaining french fleet. But still not repairing their own ships and does not seem to build any more ships now. I was able to pick off British ships quite easy. I do not know what Britain does with its production points, two remaining frigates were next to Liverpool Port, one strength 5 & the other strength 4, I watched them for a few rounds, they did not move nor did they go in the port to get repaired. One British Calvary unit landed on its own to help Prussia, I was waiting for the remaining British army but no more units arrived. Invaded Britain 1809. No British army present, only milia units on cities, farms etc. Where was the British army for the whole game? It must have had plenty of production points as many of the convoys got through. I did not invade Spain so maybe it just sat in Portugal the whole game doing nothing, but I did not see any fleets heading that way. The AI for Britain needs a major overhaul. I never had any treat from them after the first few naval battles. If they would have repaired and built new ships then the Alantic battles would be great. If they had landed 3 or 4 units in Prussia not just one and Russia and also sent more units, the battle for Prussia would have been the highlight of the Game. Overall I did enjoy the game but bottom line the AI is still two passive. France was never under threat. Vista Laptop Bugs: No Artillery casualties being recorded on statistics page. When I raised a city the display box was a white box, I had to sweep my mouse over it a few times to reveal the text and option to burn it. Thanks, Jon
