[Q]

That is good news. Most important the AI needs to use sea units and make amphibious attacks. Second there must be some kind of mega evil empire reaction if a player gets too strong. At present the AI even stops attacking the stonger player and fights its weaker neighbours instead, which makes defeat certain!
Third MM should rethink the combat system. It is so absurd that the best strategy is to place your units and wait till the enemy moves into your firing range.
I defenitely would like to buy the game but at present these problems prevent it.
Finally I wonder if there will be any possibility to mod the AI ourselves. As ScottWAR mentioned, there are quite interesting possibilities to mod the units but this is pointless if the AI can't handle it.
