How capable is the AI opponent in Commander - Napoleon at War? I am considering purchasing this game, but would like to hear from some experienced players on the AI. I am particularly interested in hearing from anyone who has experience with EiANW as I am very familiar with that game.
Thanks in advance.

The AI is "so-so". My experience with it is that it seems to start out strong and then falls off the longer play goes on.

The reason it seems strong to start with is it starts with cavalry, infantry, and artillery. What I have found is when you kill off the AI's artillery and cavalry, it does not rebuild them. The AI just keeps building a lot of infantry which is easy to destroy with a combined arms approach.

The game is fun regardless and has given me many hours of enjoyment. Once you whittle the AI army down to just infantry, the AI's weakness is exposed.

Another thing I had found was the AI never sent Napoleon to any of the battles it fought against me. The AI stuck it's best General in a city in Austria (which had surrendered and was no longer in the war) and left him there for years on end until I marched there with the Russians to attack him.

Anyway, I hope that gives you a glimpse into the answer you are looking for.

i really like this game, a rough diamond that deserved more love

i am playing the full campaign at the moment and am finding it tough - the AI is slogging it out with me round vienna - i am playing as the French

one thing i have done is applied the modded game files that mentioned in another thread here, i dont know if that has made the difference or not, but i find it a good ongoing challenge - i am not sure i will even get to capture vienna before 1815 comes
