Actually, I've been having a lot of fun with MTW2. That said, I still can't understand why the AI isn't near as good as it was in MTW. Most all of the problems we've whined about since the release of RTW didn't exist in MTW. OK, so the graphics have greatly improved, but just what effect should that have had on AI? Mounted skirmishing was a bit lame, and there were no true pike options, but overall, it was far superior in my opinion. Well, at least I seemed to have a lot more fun. I can't even reinforce my army now with what I want to bring onto the field. I either fight three stacks a AI alone, or put an army under AI command to get slaughtered. By the way, why is the AI on player's side so much dumber than on AI's side? Do they watch Monty Python?
