1.5 Diplomacy: even more broken than in 1.3...

[Durallan]

I guess slaists is just very upset with this game ;) I wouldn't say its more broken than 1.3, definetly MORE broken than 1.4, there are just so many things seriously wrong its quite odd, Never being able to get protectorates (although i haven't really tried) the AI demanding military alliances for trade agreements, they seem to be very demanding for trading agreements even wanting over 5000 gold just for the honor of being able to trade with them, random technology trades or not accepting a kind of fair deal, just other things I've noticed at least them dealing with the player.

There are a couple of odd things like hannover becoming the protectorate of wurttemburg (why?) but actually thinking about it, most of the AI's decisions so far have mostly made sense from what I've seen, the only problem is when they go to invade somewhere in america, they send a full stack army, Prussia went to take the Pirate settlement near Curacao with a full stack army, the VERY next turn after they took it, Poland took their capital, (end of prussia) not a smart decision. The AI needs to know when its a good time to extend its overseas posessions, how many troops to send (send a scout to find out) and then send the appropriate amount of troops to take the city, THEN REPAIR IT AFTER THEYVE TAKEN IT (most AI's seem to have alot of trouble doing this) and then send troops back that they don't need on that tiny little island unless theyre going to take more islands...
