I could say a lot of things about this game(?), but I won't.

I thought the demo of bronze was good ,not my cup of tea, but well done.

I just bought the game and like the game for what it was design to do. Mostly just for entertainment.

I see That I am a year late and several dollars short after reading all the Forum post. I agree that the mod data needs some tweeking which I have already started to do myself. Looks like most of the mods already posted are along the same lines of what I would consider to be more realistic.

Yeah, I also won't comment any further on this game, but it's nice to see some new people here.

Looks like everyone that has been playing this game and on this forum for quite a while has mostly given up on any more updates, bug fixes and patches. I have found that most games lack a good AI. I did find out that if I play this game with only 2 players, me and 1 computer player on a Gigantic map which allows for a big land grab, I give the computer a better advantage by me making a decision not to build any factories whch makes me have to re-supply over great distances where the computer can build factories as it advances along. helps to balance the AI somewhat..

Thanks for the advice. I will try this. I just can't get over the AI building routines, for example. They real show what little went into that aspect of the game. It's a blessing that I'm a terrible player in general, but this AI I can beat. We'll see...thanks again.

Yeah, the AI is the main flaw of the game. It was even worse in the first versions, has been improved a bit by the patches (most notably in the last one). In the unpatched release version the AI for example couldn't use nukes and could only make one attack per turn which gave it even more of an disadvantage as in the most recent version of the game, but it still needs improvements.
The first thing I noted after playing my first games in 2010 was that I won each game, I never lost, and even in the patched version you have to give the AI some advantage intentionally to have a real challenge.

It isn't really able to react to player's actions, for example it is totally helpless against massive nuclear attacks. By using nukes you can win each game so I avoided building them in the last games I played.
