I hope they get rid of the random DOW's

The problem is that the people who now work at CA seem to have the opinion that the game is all about ruining play for the human player. Just going through the recent patch notes confirms that AI is supposed to be there to hinder the human, not actually try to win the game or achieve anything.

Similarly, run the game, end your turn 5 times and you'll be at war with just about anyone who is not your ally and borders you. Never happens to the AI factions, just to the human player.

It makes the game utterly pointless IMO and CA have gone off the deep end this game. In previous games like MTW, the AI actually could and would win. Ever since, its been going downhill.

Its also interesting that CA never seems to reply coherently on these issues either, and that's rather disappointing.

I reloaded my spanish campaign, broke the alliance with france and that haven't attacked me for many years now, morocco attacked me again and was easily crushed though but everybody else has been rather quiet, some of them I appeased by giving them some of my european starting provinces which I was too lazy to babysit as they're isolated anyway.
I must say though, what surprised me is that some AI factions actually do go on a conquering spree now and become really powerful, Austria, Sweden and Prussia have all expanded quite a bit, now Prussia is expanding into Austrian territory which goes all the way down to Constantinople or whatever it's called in the game.
The bad side of this is that they are all engaged in neverending wars, I haven't seen a single peace treaty signed between AI factions and as I said earlier, at some point everybody will be at war with everybody else...
I'm still surprised my neighbor France hasn't declared war on me again, I wish they had kept the peace while we were still allied before I reloaded an old game.
Now if the expanding factions won't always be the same ones and the diplomacy gets fixed to be reasonable and AI factions make peace with one another, I will be kinda happy in the campaign map departement but diplomacy is still a big issue as the AI either refuses everything or wants loads of presents even if it's almost crushed and doesn't make peace with other AI factions either.
And then the random declarations of war, even from your close allies, they need to go, never to return, that would improve the game a lot as far as I'm concerned.

All I would want is reasonable diplomacy... Poland-Lithuania won't accept peace unless I return everything, and because I'm not going to do that they stay at war with me, sure I could take over their territories but I hate fighting Russia, too damn wide border and too much resistance to foreiqn occupation.
Why can't AI accept it has lost when half of its provinces are mine, all allies destroyed and literally no army left... I have to put groups of at least 2 line infantry to every farm and factory to avoid raiding by single units, which really costs money that could be better spent.

Refusal to submit under great pressure isn't that hard to believe (Just look at the Great Northern War) but it shouldn't apply to every single faction.
