The strategy side is quite good. The battle side sucks. I have yet to lose a battle and I have started sending out quite small stacks to engage full enemy stacks in the hopes that at some point the battles will become challenging. However, when I can slaughter 20 units with only 8 then the AI is seriously stupid. I sure hope they can fix this or I will go back to MTW and hope that some of the other TW type games coming out are better. Too bad about all the bugs too. I am sure glad I had the experience of playing the other CA games though. They were top notch!
