I've been playing the game for several weeks now, and one thing i've noticed is that the ai doesn't seem as aggressive against a human player as it was in Shogun. I agree with the numerous facilities being destroyed as needing to be addressed. IMHO a building or two or maybe food is ok, but it seems to destroy to many of them at a time, this does put the ai player in a bind..
Also I feel invasions by sea needs to be looked at a little more, example, as long as Ireland or other islands do not build a port, they can't be invaded.. Doesn't make sense to me, otherwise I do enjoy it especially in tactical, nothing like charging an English square and seeing them rout (only kidding there GT)
just some ideas mac
