Still no chance at victory till 7.0

Minors still not producing.

A.I took the time to play!

Fr came up big in landgrab, Pr 2nd, Au barely tried. Papacy, Naples, Flor, Mod & Genoa siezed. Phony war in Portugal, Chechnya and Bavaria.

Pr declared war on Fr. Fr called to Turk, Pr called to Russ and Aus.

Fr sent Massena /Corps to Denmk & Swede taking later from GB. Rs landed 3 corps in Swede. After several battles Russ survivors were herded north to die in snow. Russ Trns captured and navy blocaded by Swede. About 10 factors of Fr lost.

Pr and Fr tusseled 1st. All German states absorbed. Fr North army badly ground down by campaign. Fr would have surrendered at this point but couldn't as surrender to all enemies mandated.

Italy Army (40 factors) was ground down to 10. Though Fr grabbed Venitia Aus grabbed Pied, Lom, Mod, Genoa and had Romag. Florence occupied but ejected, Venitia lost back to Aus. Meanwhile GB built supply line through Sp ally lands and grabbed Bordeaux & LaRochelle burning fleet there.

Fr started gearing up with $$$/MP from German states and Conditioned PR after wiping out army. Rus built supply line into Pr and pushed several CAV corps against Fr. They were beaten off and Rus INF sat it out. Was 1st Rus sortie in Eur since v.2.0 or so.

With Prus out Nappy with 4 corps finished off Aus army which was as battered as Fr. UNCON achieved. Chas sat out war in Dalmatia with 1 corps not wanting to lapse war there or take capital it seems. AI still fumbling on occasion with how to conquer a minor.

White Peace with Rus and onto Sp to punish them.

Sp & GB fought piecmeal and were wiped out though Blake took LaRochelle and burnt fleet there....again. Sp UNCON in quick 6mo campaign, Port & Gib fell shortly thereafter. Fr Africa Corps captured Trip & Tun but did so unsupplied after Sp fleet smashed invasion force 11 sunk vs 2. Previously Fr had defeated Br light (5 sunk) in 2 fights and wiped Port fleet out in 3 fights.

A.I. aggressive have seen this at MED & EASY but never at HARD. Very refreshing, more co-ordination and concentration of force still needed.

Sp still can't solve Algeria.

Never tried overwater DoW so not sure it is still broke, but assume so.

Siege bug fixed on bypass of corps in area though the City Out of Supply message still present after siege is lifted.

Would like to see:
Battle Gazeteer

Ability to see morale other than in a battle. (unless I'm missing this somewhere) like backside of original counters.

AI produce with minors.

Fr minors should get 4MP as in boardgame. IIRC

Italy Combo

Port & Hannover training

Thanks again for the observations! VERY good stuff for me to look at!
Curious, how did Tu do?

FYI: You should be able to see the morale in the unit box at the bottom of the screen which shows your factor types???

Status: offline 		Morale: Yes I can see mine however as with gazeteer request though I'm interested in seeing others as one could in boardgame (on back of counters).  For instance I have no clue about Persian/Swiss morale as they weren't in original game and are best left undisturbed in Iran's case.

VP 9/09
Fr- 59%
GB- 84%
SP- 78%
Pr- 61%
Tu- 93%
Ru- 94%
Au-65%

So either Turk or Russ will win by Dec (I'd guess Rus)

Tu were at war with Pr, Rus & GB.

A small army in Athens a bigger one in Constantinople. Egypt conquered and Imertia still Conq with Georgia as Ally.

One Au factor in Belgrade and one Au corps in Adrianople w/o depots. 1 corps between Shazzbot & Esek. Mega army and depot chain in Egypt.

No Russ anywhere near Turks. 2 corps in Circassia and all others in Grodno. 

Prus are rebuilding in Algeria, no troops but Garr in PR itself.  GB did same in Port but actually USED THEM while Rus just used Cav in Pr and 3 Inf corps in Sweden.

AI builds heavy GARR (9I,11M) in Moscow but only 1 factor in St. Petes, that needs bolstering  big time, it does that in every game I've played allowing enemy to grab St. Pete's then march to Moscow, Russ surrenders while its mega army sits in Grodno (or other out of the way place) with no effort at intervening.  Only Tu, Pr & Au seem to love their  capitals. Br & Rus hate theirs while Fr & Sp ambivalent.

Did quick finish Russ beat Tu 104% vs 103%

Thanks gain!
The AI is still not seeing St Petersburg as a capital (It is in the game)! You are absolutely right! I will look to change that in 1.07

Status: offline 		Started game as EASY Prussia

Pr & Au with pinpricks from GB defeated Fr.
Rs again sent CAV corps to Poland with main army at Grodno.

Pr so far ahead on VP ended game early 1809-ish, humans would gang up on Dominant Pr, I assume AI won't.

Started TURKEY EASY, every one went to war with everyone after early over allying. Pr allied with Turks yet hate us for being ally of Fr. Pr at war with GB, Rs & Au. Pr took Grodno. No sign of Russians there either wiped out or retreated to St. Pete's, unclear which as no depots anywhere.

TURK got Naples and Papacy early, owns all 4 Caucasus countries burning out 3 Feudal corps and destroying 2 Russ corps after regs arrived from Egypt via sea.

Russ have 2 corp in Finn rest at St Pete's.

Pruss all over. Liege, Hamburg & Olden still neutral.

Tu own Dal, Sard, Sicily, Romag, Ven, Pap with Naples Free.

Only 3-6 Fr corp near AU, Aus has 2 large armies, Pr invading Bohemia. Really interesting turn of events.

Fr @ 36% Tu @ 40% 11/08
