    I would quite like it if the AI pulled out more and limited itself to as few casulties as possible, would make the game so much more realistic and intriguing. You would still have big fights, but there would be a lot more tactics to every battle - it wouldn't just be about beating the opponent for the AI, it would be about so much more. Think Quatre Bras before Waterloo.
    GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
    INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
    GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
    INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

    70%-90% casualties in Land Battles?? No way.
    I play on VH as british, i do some volleys, soften the fellas up and charge with bayonets (and cavalry if I happen to have any). They run away. Even more so if you had some artillery shooting at them beforehand.
