Russian Guard -> RE: Out of Control Prussia AI (12/22/2005 6:20:59 PM)
|
I'm at work so cannot provide a screenshot (I'll try to do that tonight), but in general there was a somewhat disappointing end to all of this. Mighty AI Prussia was crushed easily, although mostly by her own foolishness.
I (Russia) concluded the wars mentioned above (with Sweden and France) by forcing them to surrender (in both cases, their Capitals were occupied and Insurrectionists forced a surrender). I then made the decision to take 9 months to reorganize, restock the coffers, add some troops, and mass on the eastern Prussian border for a final show-down with the Prussian monster. At this point, Prussia had a Glory score of about 4,000, my score - in second place - was about 2,400.
Alas, while I was reorganizing and such, Sweden went to war with Prussia. Prussia then moved that entire mass of troops up into Sweden and after destroying the small Swedish Army, laid siege to Stockholm.
During this, France and Spain went to war with Prussia. The first thing they did was siege Berlin, as well as destroy the Prussian depot chain. At which point, the Prussian Army started taking massive foraging casualties...but it just sat there, in Sweden.
I jumped in to the war a few months later, even though I wasn't fully organized for it. Sweden surrenders the same turn, to Prussia. The Prussian Army teleports to Malmo, a province it owns from a previous war with Sweden, and then begins a march back down through Danish provinces. Watching that process I could tell that most of the Prussian Corps were half the size they were when they had marched into Sweden months before.
To conclude, after a number of scattered battles/sieges between Prussian, Spanish, British (the Brits had been at war with Prussia for years) and French (to whom I am now allied), and Russians, and with Berlin occupied (by Spanish, dang it, they got the siege die roll I guess), Prussia surrendered to England and Russia - but stayed at war with Spain. I took 4 eastern Prussian provinces, Reparations, and a little extra mandatory Peace.
I have vaulted into first place, ahead of England by about 1,000 Glory. Prussia dropped dramatically.
By the by, I had forgotten that I had set this game victory option to "highest glory" so it's going to go til 1815...this is a fun campaign.
