I've noted (after playing two full grand campaigns as the Entente and two full games as the Central Powers) that it is far easier to win as the Entente. They simply get massive amounts of credits, compared to the Centrals, and in no time can offset any casualties or technological setbacks (in both games as the Entente I won by 1916). However, these are only my own observations. I'd like to hear from everyone else (also, all of my games were played on balanced difficulty).

Yeah, the AI genuinely seems to have problems as the CP winning the game. There's pretty much no scenario where it's not possible to hang on to Verdun, chase them out of Belgium, and capture Strasburg. With the PP they lose from this, and the entry of Italy into the war, they're beaten within a year after this. I've never lost Serbia to the AI.

Playing as the CP, on the flipside, the Russians always seem to break when Romania joins the war - it's just child's play to blitz through Romania and encircle the Russians from the south. Once you've broken into Russia, the AI will usually focus on garrisoning every city near your troops rather than develop a blocking position, which makes it fairly easy just to smash lone units at each city. With a 1914 start the French are also pretty easy to beat once you know the secret - just push as fast and as hard as you can to the gates of Paris and then bombard the defenders into submission. I normally declare war on Spain and the US after this just to keep the game a challenge - actually, the Spanish front seems to be tougher than the one in France and Flanders.

i have noted that the Russians are possible to break if you're determined (but I believe that is because they don't have the luxury of getting massive credits from over powered convoys). I think that France should receive less credits from their convoy (half it) and Britain should have each of its convoys reduced by 30. At that rate, one would actually have to manage their resources, rather than spam the Ottomans with multiple artillery pieces, fighters, bombers, and endless waves of expendable infantry (I've steamrolled them every time like this and the AI does the same).
