The problem with Retrofit is that the strategic AI becomes too soft. On Very Hard for instance, in Vanilla the AI would go out of its way to get you (including launched bizarre naval invasions and marching across others' territory to invade yours), but in retrofit the AI has become docile. Some might say it's more realistic, but it gets ridiculously easy to play on Very Hard in Retrofit. There's just no challenge, and isn't it fun when you're fighting everyone?
The game shouldn't be called Total War for nothing, after all.
