I have to commend the developers for benig honest and not actually claiming to have the holy grail in AI development.

The hardest level states that the AI is only "somewhat more capable". Lol!

I think you will find the AI to be a good challenge. I know I have.

The AI at advanced will kick your rear end... Its not just the Ai, your Senate tends to work against you.

I found the demo ai to be considerable, I got my ass kicked! It seems impressive.

With regards to the Senate working against Hannibal. While this is historically accurate: There was a strong faction that actually wanted Hannibal to fail so that he wouldn't become a dominating figure in Carthaginian politics. They didn't quite realize that they were as vulnerable to total defeat as they were.

However, in my first 'hard level' game, the Carth Senate actually made a couple of pretty poor decisions:

North Africa was invaded and I recommended that they 'Improve the defenses of North Africa', a decison that would have been in alignment with their interests, and they decided to promote a raid on Corsica and Sardinia. This seems off to me. This was in confict with their heirarchy of needs as well as just foolish given the current circumstances. Historically the Carthaginian 'Suffet' had complex interests, but their heirarchy would have been:

1. Defend North Africa
2. Hold onto Spain
3. Reclaim Sicily
4. Reclaim Corsica and Sardinia
5. Support Hannibal's adventure into Italy (Moves into Italy and Gual)
