The game is just TOO perfect!

rijde, you are quite right in a lot of the improvements you state, the game is immensely better when it comes to being able to control your territories, and there is less tedious stuff. However, there are significant and horrendus flaws. Some of us just want that sorted.

I'd like to see 3 things fixed or added:
1) Naval invasions
2) The ability for players to influence AI diplomatic relations
3) A strategic AI where the computer has a massive monetary edge so they can just out spawn you. This would disguise a lot of the other strategic flaws the AI shows and would actually allow for a sense of accomplishment when you are successful.

Those 3 fixes would make this a much better game IMO.

No, no and no, at this point. It's bad enough that they all share technology with each other, so even if you got 6 universities pumping out technology, they still at the same level at you, despite the fact, you can't buy any technology off them unless it is at some insane price.

There are changes I would like to see, but seriously not a mass spawning. I remember in my Netherlands game, I kept trying to invade Mysore, and they had 3 stacks and kept killing me as I landed. So, I decided to attack the Mughul Empire instead and I got around to killing them and taking all their land with one (initially, I brought others in later on) stack. [VH/VH setting]

Many of the one-state nations have armies far larger than they should be able to field then what you can do in comparison with a lot larger land mass.

While I do believe there should be some fixes, I don't think just giving them money for nothing should be the key. There are other ways to do it.

I wasn't proposing that as the fix, just an above VH difficulty. I agree that isn't the fix, but I'd rather have that then have a bunch of house rules where I have to handicap myself. Have it as an option, not a fix. That is all I was suggesting.

Sorry I hadn't heard this. So if one faction gets a technology the rest do as well or are they just very generous when exchanging with one another?
