I still play against useless AI, but set up challenges to make it more interesting.

Wish they would have kept working AI like promised...

Game doesn't work well as a stand alone but is playable for beginning strategies and some tactics. However, when Russia declares war on England because of a lapse of war against Sweden .. that should tell you something. Making deals between allies still has issues, they may tell you they will give you something but that doesn't mean you'll get it etc.. AI player won't surrender until you have destroyed all troops and occupy most of their cities AND they are in instability..

I have NEVER seen an AI build a single ship in years of playing it. So as long as France keeps building them and trying to run British blockade killing a few each time, eventually you WILL get through and England will never rebuild them.

Best of Luck,

Well good news is that Marshall did keep working a little bit on the AI as promised for v1.21 but all that is in limbo. If the money lending issue could get resolved and the AI builds issue for ships and other items could get resolved then that would be a major plus. I have seen some of the AI coding for diplomacy actions and such and made some suggestions to Marshall for improvements here and there that could hopefully allow the AI to be a little less reckless, but again all that is in limbo. I do not know what the future holds. Standing by...

I still play. I concur with the AI issues above. The AI will declare wars that make no sense.
I observed Austria declare war on Turkey when French forces were approaching Vienna!
