Sort out whatever they did in the last patch that means I can't get past the copyright screen?

id imagine that will be the BSOD striking again.

Definitely the reinforcement issue and the lack of naval invasions for me to. also another minor issue there needs to be more than two zoom settings for the radar map in land battles.

Some tweaks to the diplomacy AI would be nice. There are plenty of things that fall under this, but I think a really big one is that when you go to war with a nation and bring your allies with you, if you make peace with that enemy and force it to become your protectorate, your allies remain at war with that country. This in turn damages your relations with your allies because now you're allied with a country they're at war with.

Of course, this leads to the larger issue of the AI factions never making peace with one another, leading to never-ending wars that are often inconsequential. I assume it stems from the long-standing problem in TW games of AI factions being too stubborn in negotiations. The AI factions are generally reluctant to make peace with you unless you give them something, preferably some of the territory you conquered from them. This is fine and is fairly historical, I think (the negotiated territorial borders generally didn't coincide with whereever the front was at the time of peace, I don't think), but the problem is that I don't think the AI faction that is winning is ever willing to give up provinces it has conquered, as it then considers those provinces their own. So since neither side is willing to yeild anything, the war usually just keeps on going until one of the factions is eliminated, which is silly. This is all speculation of course.

Fix minor factions fighting suicide wars...possibly by making declining in relations less steep?

leading to never-ending wars that are often inconsequential

This and the trade route bug are my two biggest. So wars are fine. For instance the Ottomans and Russians go at each other every game I've played and usually have a big naval war, fine, great, glorious.

Other nations though will have war declared when there is no way it means anything.


GB declared war somehow on Saxony in my game, and yet clearly no English army was in Saxony. I was the ally so it brought me into the war or I took a rep hit.


London is powerless and the other nations are powerless to attack england without any form of naval invasion by the AI.

Most of all tho...I want my trade routes back that the last patch stole

Besides what's been mentioned, here's a few minor ones that really get up my craw.

Light Dragoons and reloading on horseback.
Light Dragoons are perfectly capable of reloading on horseback... if they are shooting at an enemy. Either directed or with fire at will. Move them away from enemy units and nothing you do can will make them reload on horseback. They'll sit there the entire battle, twiddling thumbs, until an enemy comes into range. Then they start reloading their empty muskets. Get them on foot and they reload just fine. If they can't reload on horseback, fine. Don't let them reload ever. If they CAN reload while horsed up, they should do so when idle.

Cannons and cease fire orders.
I've ordered cannons to cease fire while they were reloading, with fire at will turned off, and they still fire off a shot once loaded. Sometimes into their own horses or my line infantry, sometimes just at the ground. I can understand some justification for a slight delay but these cannons were reloading. I've nearly lost a general to this already.
