Hello, I am downloaded the demo and I am quite impressed with the game.

I am having some difficulty with the world war scenario though. It is quite difficult. All the other options of gameplay have AI settings.

World War doesn't seem to have one. Does the full version have AI settings for World War?

I like the game but sometimes I just cannot calculate as well as the computer in terms of tactics....and the computer punishes mistakes very hard

Nope, there's no AI settings for World War mode as of yet. I dunno if the Devs are planning on it, but really it won't matter. If you start digging into MP you're going to start to find the AI to be very lacking, even if you get trounced in MP every single game.



Me.

How can I play MP when I can't even beat AI? Do human players online calculate as well as AI or is the AI better than most players in that deparment?

Yes, "The AI takes no prisoners". It is very well done and tough to beat at first. But as you learn more advanced tactics and strategy, eventually you will have no problem with the AI. Especially when you have found how important it is to have mobile forces (including transports).

Online multiplayer is a totally different environment. There are some players that will surprise you with decisions you never would have made, and others that will have you running the whole game. You will learn quickly from masters and newer people alike. No longer will the AI be the challenge it used to be.

I'll second what Maelstrom said as I accentuate my point more..

Online MP is a whole heckuva lot harder than the AI, in droves. Right now I have about four or five games going, all my first series, haven't finished one yet, and it already looks like I'm going to lose most of them, I might pull one out of my butt, if things go as I would like, but in what limited experience I've had, it's made the AI considerably easier, because I've used some of the tactics that have been used on me in SP, and it's pretty devestating to the AI.

Me.

Well...

YES and NO....
