"What's more, once your medieval empire becomes overwhelmingly powerful, you'll quickly find your rivals rallying together to oppose your expanding kingdom, a feature which the team hopes will make the game challenging from beginning to end."

I'm worried. I've seen it before - hopeless ennemies refusing any peace deal. It was dull.

"We're making the campaign map AI far more proactive than before. You'll find that your homeland will be attacked a lot more. Your enemies may stick a large army on a fleet and come and attack you at your main city."

I'm happy. Hope they won't invade with all-peasant cannon-fodder armies, though.

"What strikes me most though isn't the French tactical naivety, but the breathtaking level of detail that these battles contain."

Now I'm really worried. This guy compares AI with graphics, first of all. Secondly - if even him, most probably not a TW fan, notices a "naive" AI, then what should I expect?
