Playing on H/H I find the AI to sometimes play well and sometimes not well. In all I find it much more difficult then RTW or M2TW where it was always awful and outragously easy to out flank them and get their entire army to rout.

There are times where they bunch but other times they have managed to overwhelm one side of my spread out line and then rout me...I have yet to see them beat me even on odds, but if I have less units then my enemy it is about a toss up.

On the startegy side they seem to send annoying small groups of guys, but this actually caused me some big problems. apperently your units can't refill tehir ranks if they take part in battle that turn so I was getting slowly weakened by the stream of a few units at a time...


An example of smart startegy AI was when fighting bavaria and Austria I was constantly fighting small numbers of Bavarians who were coming over the border. I got tired of this so I sent my army into Bavaria to raid their towns. The Bavarian army came out and crushed my half stack army with a full stack and the following turn the Austrians overwhelemd my now deplted defenses.
