    Having no alliances is a pretty funny thing. I was playing as the Marhartha confederacy and everywhere on the Alliance map is bright Green because I'm not allied, and only one nation borders me. Meanwhile everyone else is at each other's throats, squabbling over inches of turf while the promised land of milk, tea, and elephants is unharmed and reaping in 10k per turn.

    Really though, it needs to be fixed.

    You don't.

    CA took players' calls for "more difficulty" to mean "remove the diplomacy system" instead of improving the AI.

    As some posters have mentioned, sometimes it happens, but rarely.
    "Sit now there, and look out upon the lands where evil and despair shall come to those whom thou lovest. Thou hast dared to mock me, and to question the power of Melkor, master of the fates of Arda. Therefore with my eyes thou shalt see, and with my ears thou shalt hear; and never shall thou move from this place until all is fulfilled unto its bitter end". -Tolkien

    Standard Total War behaviour since Medieval 1 at least. CA:s idea of challenge is wave after wave of cannon fodder getting thrown at the human player, rather than having the AI build up an army to win and THEN attack.

    In Medieval 2 it was possible to get peace every time provided you didnt share a land border with the enemy, how does that work in Empire?

    It doesn't. The AI is a wreck. I can't imagine springing for Napoleon Total War given how irrational the AI in ETW has become.

    Somebody needs to take a geek stick and beat the win back into the AI team.

    Perhaps CA tried to go for a time period where they could argue they just DOW everyone.

    At worst, it will be Alexander 2.

    That's what it sounds like N: TW is supposed to be...One of the articles said something to the extent that, because Napoleon is is General, and not a ruler. You will only have to focus on the fighting, without any of Political wheelings and dealings to get in your way.

    Lemme see if I can find that statement...
    "You must know, then, that there are two methods of fight, the one by law, the other by force: the first method is that of men, the second of beasts; but as the first method is often insufficient, one must have recourse to the second. It is therefore necessary for a prince to know well how to use both the beast and the man.
    -Niccolo Machiavelli

    So, in other words, exactly like ETW?
    "Sit now there, and look out upon the lands where evil and despair shall come to those whom thou lovest. Thou hast dared to mock me, and to question the power of Melkor, master of the fates of Arda. Therefore with my eyes thou shalt see, and with my ears thou shalt hear; and never shall thou move from this place until all is fulfilled unto its bitter end". -Tolkien

    There isn't any diplomacy when its one bloc of doods fighting another bloc doods.
    Fighting isn't about winning, it's about depriving your enemy of all options except to lose.
