Default Re: I ALWAYS loose.... I need advice and have MANY questions heh!

I might have missed it somewhere in all of this.
What is your independents set at for a game?
The default of 3?

The 3 default is a big benefit to the AI. Setting it at something like 5 or 6 will usually get you a game which plays VERY differently. A low setting allows the AIs to win most provinces and rush you early with little losses.

The AI doesnt tend to be as smart about who to attack and how much to send so higher indept settings will often cause the AI to waste alot of time and resources trying to take the same province over and over. It keeps the win/loss ratio on the expansion at about the same as you.
