Wow, you know this already, do you? You must be running the demo on, like, 10 different computers to make such a definitive statement so soon after te demo was released

P.S. I just noticed... if you want to reply to me, you'll have to address me as "Sarge"! =)

Yes Sarge. Since I rolled 3 AIs on normal level on the first map 3 times in a row...easily...yes I guess it is weak.

Hmmm. I only played against AI's on their hardest setting in DOM I, except for a couple nations like Ermor and Jotunheim (their darn nether darts...) Try again against impossible computers.

***INTERFACE PROBLEM***

What I noticed so far is that unit stats are no longer aligned!

I mean, I like the fact that it says "Attack Skill", that's nice and informative... but... since the names of the stats have different numbers of characters, it's hard to see all the stats at a glance, down a column. I would suggest moving all the unit stat numbers farther right so they are aligned in a column, like in Dominions I.

I dont like if the AI is cheating. [Harder diff. level means that the AI is cheating.]

I love the demo so far!
I dont wanna talk about the AI yet. Check out the poll anyways, the votes are very interesting.

The AI is poor. I am very pissed because of that. The game should be really decent, but with this AI....SP part is screwed.

IW must upgrade the AI.

You guys have really tried the AI this much? Were you beta testers or what?

I like the user interface and the new look.

I will start a demo with some hard AI's to see what you all are talking about.
