    I can't provide a very detailed, overall view as of yet, but in my current campaign as Russia I've noticed the AI forming and using firing lines. They also melee less, especially when it is more oportunistic to exchange vollys. I had one interesting battle, a small battle, there was no way I could win but I was pleased with the AI performance. I set up some infantry to fire on his approaching melee troops, got off one volly and they engaged, I had two units to his one in the melee but was losing. Meanwhile, he moved two units of calvary to a flanking position and hesitated until my units were ready to rout and finished the job. I must say, I'm not the best at this game but I though the AI didn't perform too badly.

    Tech trade window is still bugged, so: Instant Uninstall! -_-

    Worst buy ever for me... There is no other full price game that I've played less...

    Hey atleast it wasn't 200 dollars:

    Fighting isn't about winning, it's about depriving your enemy of all options except to lose.

    Had three battles since the patch. Prussians v Poles . The Poles did seem to form line better and not wander round and put in piecemeal flank attacks.

    One of the battles Polish reinforcements entering the battlefield were getting the last 6 men on the right flank 'stuck' behind a farmcart.
    The rest of the unit marched into the center of the field and halted.
    I used ground attack with mortars and howitzers to kill them then moved the howitzers to kill the ones stuck behind the cart.
    Timer ran out and I lost the battle though the 'stuck' guys were the only enemy left.
    Reloaded and same thing happened but as I was watching for it I got to the the farm cart much earlier. when GE blast from 3 howitzers managed to kill 4 of them the other two unstuck - and then 2 gun batteries (invisibly stuck behind) came onto the field (and got wiped out as my dragoons were nearby). Then another line unit came on - same thing happened, the last 6 men on their RF got stuck !!

    Oh maybe I should make clear that you cannot attack the unit affected, you get an 'x' when you try and your men ignore them - targetting ground near them is the only way to eliminate them. When I eliminated that unit another marched on and the same thing happened again

    The only way around it was to reload a couple saves back (I save after almost every activity with this game), then moved my stack to attack the same enemy but from a slightly different direction - no cart no problem. I never experienced this in many battles in 1.5 so likely another new bug?

    The second was a fort defense ( Breslau ) with a full stack Polish army against my defenders also a full stack - frame rate slowed to a crawl during the peak of the battle, I haven't experienced that since 1.5 came out so looks like an old bug is back again.

    It isn't new. I have been having it since about 1.3 but it could go back to the beginning. It is just in some places it seems to happen.

    So... I haven't noticed anything improved... During sieges my frame rate goes from a constant 40-60 to a staggering 5-10.

    Then there is the land battles, first one i had the Austrians charged their cav into my waiting cannons and musket shot, then sent the inf to their doom. The only thing that gives me trouble is the light inf, but they have been giving me trouble since 1.3
