Graf Leinsdorf -> RE: Napoleon in Italy 1.05 Public Beta Now Available!!! (12/20/2007 11:42:22 PM)
|
Downloaded and tried the Piemont Campaign scenario, difficulty level "general", rules "realistic", fog of war "on", French mobility "on". I played as Austrian against the French AI. I didn't especially concentrate on strategy and played somewhat as blind woodpusher. The result was a very easy Austrian win: 1753 pts. vs. 1020 pts. I deem such outcome quite discouraging as to the quality of the AI. I play against the computer opponent only and consider a poor mark for a wargame that it's so easy to beat its AI, especially if that means to easily reverse the historical result. As in the cases of Gun of August and Empires in Arms, I think that this recent Matrix games release too, in spite of the fascinating subject, the good rendition of many historical subtleties and the laudable effort to improve things with timely updates, suffers from a rather stupid AI, thus undemining my wish to play it any more.
