Denmark

So Denmark AI have learned to pillage, but its not enough to be effective, I rarely if ever see them do well.
Whats missing? (I have to say I find denmark pretty subpar as a player too).

Im shocked, Denmark doing well, erased Carthage of all civs and then almost Marocco.
I guess the coastal layout was very much in the danish favor.

I find Denmark very strong in human hands on a water heavy map. I think the main issue is the bad tactical AI when it comes to amphibious warfare, especially on maps with narrow waterways and many islands. I played milae's map often and I have seen the AI struggle there.

To make Denmark shine, it's exactly this kind of combat you need to master. Things like putting ranged land units on small islands next to which you are fighting the enemy fleet. Or attacking coastal ranged units with an embarked berserker.

The AI seems quite good in open water naval combat though.
