The game is just TOO easy!!!!

I'll say it again.

Please play the Prestige game on VH/VH...get back to me with your thoughts at 1799...

...and that should not be for a few days.

While I expect the AI to be tweaked and made far more challenging now that CA have 20 000 play testers, JAG's comments are telling. Especially about trade war behaviour.

All this should be patchable which is a good thing.

I played Maratha on VH/VH. I reached my long campaign goals at about 1738. At the same time I was already leading the prestige scale (because I downed most of the the British Navy blocking my trade lanes). Sorry, but going for a prestige game is no solution. The solution is CA finishes coding the campaign AI. It's obvious that there a features missing and the whole thing isn't properly balanced yet.
