re installed
Posted: Sun Jun 17, 2018 2:24 am
So after a few weeks break I reinstalled to give it another try.
I have some observations.
Lutzen map. Normal setting
AI seems to love charging up hills and across rivers.
At best I lose a few and they sustain no losses.
At worst I'm just devastated and they suffer very little.
The AI charges me in a city and suffers no losses while I loose heavily.
I attack a city down hill (with support) and get slaughtered. (same city)
I shoot my artillery at a unit right next to me and inflict no damages.
The AI artillery creams me from a distance.
The AI units when they are one loss from breaking are still somewhat invincible for a few turns.
I mean 2 infantry and one artillery fire - no losses.
I'm not looking for an absolutely accurate simulation but come on now.
Shouldn't Normal setting be the same for both sides?
These issues make this game useless as far as fun goes.
I'm playing the same scenarios over and over with the same results.
The results are not every single time but way to biased to the AI.
I understand Napoleonic tactics and the way to use the units.
I'd like to be rewarded instead of spanked.
I really want to love this game.
The scale and length of battles is wonderful.
It's so close to being exactly what I want.
But these things need fixed.
I do hope my ranting at least points you in the right direction. Balance.
Please a small update.
I'm gonna try and not play till then.
This game is filling my head with nasty 4 letter words.
