Mere seconds after the battle started the opposing AI ran I am writing this to alert people once again at how bad this game is. I was defending a fort from an enemy assault. I played the campaign long enough to play a single battle. Never mind how bad it was at launch, I will tell you my experience as of the last CA patch, when they announced they would no longer be patching this game. I am writing this to alert people once again at how bad this game is. Why creative assembly do not program a proper AI for their games? Because they know that they will sell total war games just improving the graphics. The AI plays equally bad in very hard as easy. There game does not have difficulty levels. The rest of the nations are not trying to win, they are programmed to just go against you. Diplomacy is not working because of the nonexistent AI. The computer wil know the position of all your armies, all your fleets, it will know what you can see and what you canВґt, in battles it will know exactly the range and the arc of fire of your troops to put their troops in the safe edge, it will know things like when you order to your artillery to fire on the enemy general, and it will move the general away in the precise moment you make click on it. Regarding the AI, they rely just on giving cheats to the computer. This means that either Creative Assembly donВґt have a QA department or they are aware of the bugs but they donВґt give a shxx. It is needed just 5 minutes of play to start finding bugs. Programmers should be ashamed of this game. It is like a platform game without a working collision detection. It is unbelievable that after so many years and so many games, total war games are still without a proper AI.

I did upgrade buildings when I tested it but decided to leave the choice to the player.This game is broken. Note: upgrading Structures is up to your personal choice. You now should focus on building up your empire before you do any more conquering build weavers, iron workshops, taverns, churches, docks, etc. Also note that Austria starts allied to Great Britain, so if you get an alliance with the British the Austrians are less likely to attack. all are Protestant, so it should be easier to achieve. Try forming alliances with Sweden, Great Britain and the United Provinces. However, it also opens land trade with them. Taking out Poland puts your border against Russia, so be careful. Poland is a valuable province if you let it develop.

You now have a solid start and two of your victory provinces. Good job on taking down PrussiaвЂ™s earliest enemy Poland, but donвЂ™t forget to move some units back to Poland from West Prussia.

Acquire trade agreements (up to you what countries as long as itвЂ™s not Poland)ДЇeel free to construct any buildings or research a different tech, but note that canister shot will not help because the plan will be over before the buildings are constructed.

Start research on ring bayonets (this will be ready when you invade).

Move your Gentleman to the Magdeburg College.

The only solution is taking it out quickly. Poland should not be underestimated itвЂ™s allied with Denmark and Russia and will eventually overpower you in a long war. PrussiaвЂ™s earliest problem is Poland, separating your land and acting particularly rude to any kind of diplomatic proposal. Blitzkrieg: Early Prussian Campaign Guide
