Diversify your game alternating human opponents and AI .
The AI ​​probably has an advantage in fights with many units because you may manage them better. The human can sometimes forget to move something in time.

A lot of good suggestions to combine with well documented use of player preferences. Looking forward to playing again.

PBEM is great. Been a while since I've played, not sure how easy it is to find opponents though...

But,

If you are willing to open up the Editor/Campaign Edit functions you can have a buddy deploy the AI forces for you. The AI will still be the AI but it'll be a lot less predictable than a generated game. This might sound like a chore but really it isn't*...





*Unless you catch a bad case of map-making.

It is not easy to get players and sometimes it is difficult to finish games when there are life problems to solve. But it's good to try. That the PBEM does not die !!!!

Don't know. But here you have a victim to train. Maybe then go around Blitz again.
I went through Blitz and there is some movement.
If you want to play we do it calm or in The Blitz.

Sounds good!

I can set something up.

Let me know what nations and roughly what size (map and build points) you'd prefer, nations and time period. All slots open?

It does not have to be a "fair and balanced" meeting engagement game with equal points.

We can log it as a Blitz game, no problemo. Use Blitz rules too if you like, or not.

This goes for you too, Dion - if you're interested...

This thread has seriously drifted from the initial topic!.

You guys should take this PBEM game setup stuff to private messages, methinks?

It's true. Private or perhaps scenarios and maps as Wulfir's proposal seems interesting. Could you wait for him to think?
