In my latest Grand Campaign (as always, VH/VH), I left England completely undefended and had a couple of wars going on. I was terribly vulnerable to any army that could land on my soil, but none ever tried.

I have seen the AI pirating trade routes of countries it is at war against, but no naval invasions, no fighting of pirate faction navies... all in all the AI has been a disappointment for me. Even the Battle AI. At times it seems to get stuck in a loop and just run around while in my troops' firing arcs.

I can't wait to see what Patchy Claus will bring this week. I hope it's lots of fixes and features they planned on having in the day zero patch, because I can't see this current version of the game being ready for release, and I would hope CA would agree.
