I think it's kinda weird that someone could play this game in its current state and think "yes, the AI must attack more often".

Well, i like higher AI aggression if it means that they are more likely to actually attack when they're at war but I hope they will be more diplomatic and choose their wars more carefully and ACTUALLY MAKE PEACE. Oh, I became a bit loud there I guess but I still haven't seen the AI make a single peace treaty(and they might actually want to stick to it for a while after they got beaten into a bloody pulp by their adversary), though recently Sweden offered me peace, didn't even know we were at war but it was a progress.![]()

"For those of you wondering how we're progressing, let's just say I've now seen a Marathan eastern seaboard of the United States with both as AI factions".
That doesn't surprise me. I've seen them take over almost all of Eastern Europe in 1.2. I suppose having almost whole continent to yourself has it's advantages.
Eastern Europe =/= USA
I suppose he means naval invasions that actually work? Or factions trading provinces?

I get nervous when I here “more aggression”. It usually turns out badly in game terms.
The CAI does NOT need more aggression. The Diplomacy needs the rework. Then the CAI needs to act on its diplomatic status...attack if it thinks it is at war... The level of aggression is too strong now with all the ridiculous DoWs and most factions should not be trying to take on the world and expand to everywhere.
They had best be careful with the naval invasions. We don’t need more absurdities in this game.
Having the Indian factions invading the Americas is just as silly as having the Cherokee invading France or England.
Most factions need limited expansion priorities. England and France would have the largest areas I think, and maybe Spain and Portugal.
Battle AI is a different story. Some have trouble with it and others don’t.
I think most people here have problems with the proposed Naval Changes and would rather not see it.

I don't know if i'm terribly bothered about the maratha's expanding into america, if they build a really big empire and wish to do so well thats up to them. On the peace point I actually had my first peace offer from the AI! it was a complete shock, I had to take a breather and look at the screen again! the maratha's offered me peace, and they offered ME money!! it was a shock and I agreed to it. However the random routine that didz mentioned still seems to be there much more covert than before, but one turn my allies the united provinces and prussia declared war on each other, which meant that if I sided with the defender EVERYONE would hate me for the rest of the game. Neither did they share borders which was strange aswell. Anyway reloaded and presto, no war declaration, but Issac Newton died, but I'd rather lose him than lose any scrap of reputation my nation has left for defending an ally.
I play Custom Campaign Mod with 1.2!

If you love ridiculous sea invasions then go back to M2TW for a while.
I don’t like the ridiculous and outrageous invasions any more than I like the silly DoWs.
If you were offered peace and money than chances are you were not fighting them any way and you betrayed an ally by signing the peace agreement.
Just wait until you have idiots invading everywhere and carrying huge armies on one brig.

While i agree that the diplomacy needs work, the campaign AI does need more aggression outside of diplomacy. At the moment, it's hardly an issue that the diplomatic AI DoW's left right and centre, because it rarely follows these DoWs with any actual aggression.
Basically, at the moment, the AI isnt aggressive, it's passive-aggressive.
Why? What's the point of having a CAI at all if all its going to do is stick to 'realistic' historical events? I can understand that some people think that its important to have historically accurate units and weapons, but if you have a historically accurate CAI then you dont actually have a game any more.They had best be careful with the naval invasions. We don’t need more absurdities in this game. Having the Indian factions invading the Americas is just as silly as having the Cherokee invading France or England.
And how is the CAI supposed to perform historically accurately when the player isnt similarly constrained? How is napoleon going to conquer most of europe if the player has eliminated france?
