I'm playing the Europa Barbarorum mod of RTW until there's a few patches out (which there will be soon). If you think the fallout from the Demigod server issues was bad, you weren't on the ETW forums in the days after release.

[e digicons]x_x[/e] thread! People have unbelievably unrealisitc expectations of AI. I am yet to find a game forum where this sort of thread doesn't exist. The Sins AI is not at all bad compared to some, and is better since the OP (which was OVER A YEAR AGO if you check the date).

There is a jump between normal and hard. I find that hard generally needs more strategy than just throwing ships at the AI. I can beat hard using Entrenchment but I often struggled on vanilla (probably due to game style). Whatever you do, remember that 'unfair' is called that for a reason. It was a product of the betas (top players wanted a real challenge), and the ai gets major in-game bonuses.

We should arrange a mild-mannered visit to Gamestop HQ with an assortment of blunt weaponry and explain to them what is meant by a release date ... [e digicons]:typo:[/e] Gamestop, [e digicons]:inlove:[/e] Stardock.
