@Tulius: I did my best to improve the AI wherever I could make sense of the scripts, you will notice it the most when playing Entente in singleplayer where vanilla AI was barely making an attempt to invade France. In Potzblitz it's quite a bit more of a challenge to stop the Germans although most of it is scripted (as in: IF the player moves here THEN do that etc.). I know that's kind of cheap but it works better than in vanilla where the AI behavior was designed with no strategical goals in mind other than to attack there where the player has the least units.
im not sure if ive learned how to stop germans or u made it less aggressive in later versions, but they barely steps on any french hex
if i remember it right, from my last three games, once it was at least able to kick out belgians, once i held antwerp, once even brussels (in that i caugth that repositioning of french defense before invasion)
when u were experimenting with that more aggressive ai, for the first time they were allready surrounding paris, but failed later
its opening was like unstopable, boom, boom, boom, no units to fill all holes
now i dont even need new units and cp suddenly stops
cant be ai somehow mixed? for example first 10 turns headless aggressive, at least for germans? armies+generals vs corps should be like storm (in some version it was, but now is ai doing less attacks)
difficulty levels differs in that, handicaped ai is doing the less, balanced some more, privileged the most attacks
I think it would be interesting to make an event to join Spain with Entente if Italy joins CP. I also think, Spain should have any navy... while Sweden has two fleets Spain has none 
Comparing dreadnoughts and cruisers (the most powerful ships), Sweden had none dreadnoughts but 12 coastal dreadnoughts (minidreadnoughts) and 7 cruisers. On the other side, Spain had two dreadnoughts and 11 cruisers. Historically, the Entente pact with Spain was in order to join the spanish and the french navy to have a chance to defeat the combined italian and austria-hungarian navy.
