Diplomacy is entirely broken

[Marquis of Roland]

Yes, make em gang up on each other, why always the human player? That's just utterly ridiculous. THis game should be fun and more or less equal for all parties involved rather than being a "bash the human" fest.

In fact, even with the constant DoWs, the AI is still no challenge for any half way decent player because they are so happily at peace with each other. If they actually fought each other like they fight the human, they could actually expand and turn into superpowers you know.

They do fight each other. Hell, they fight each other more than they fight me. People complain about the AI not attacking when they DoW, well this is probably why. I don't see Austria, Poland, Sweden, and Russia just drop their current choking of each other to team up and wipe me out. When I look at the campaign map during their turns, at about 2 or 3 regions change hands every turn in Eastern Europe.

So its not the AI ganging up on you, its more like you walked into a bar for a drink and there just happens to be a bar fight going on. The guy next to you MIGHT swing at you, or he might swing at the next guy. Who knows?

You are exactly right, it is still up to Human players whether or not to blitz. In my case I blitzed to a bottle-neck and stopped.
