The AI is a good bit better than it is in Commander Europe At War as are the variety and details of the units.

It's December 1808 and I'm about to invade the Ottoman Empire. London is the only capital left to take but that would end the game. St.Petersburg is guarded by one Line Infantry with a leader and Berlin and Vienna by about 8 Line Infantry each. The Ottoman Invasion Force comprises of the French that invade Austria in 1805 aswell as the Batavian Line Infantry and the Italians but apart from the Line Infantry in St.Petersburg. As many as possible of the units have leaders and because I prioritised research over unit production my troops are the best in Europe.
Funnies
A square in Sweden is owned by Batavia.
The British loading troops on to transports in ports that are completely trapped.
At one point both Nelson and Villeneuve were injured.
