Realized a pathetic stratedgy on archipelago...

You can just have about 2-3 ships, war against the biggest gun, take out all his ships, his units as he tries to sail to your island, and he'll instantly trade with you to give up his base for peace.


Kinda... funky isn't it.

So, your complaint is that the naval AI is horrible?

 

[Grubsnik]

More like the strategic AI doesn't realize that it doesn't have naval superiority and therefore marches all it's ground troops into the sea where your own fleet can pick them off.

I've found that on the Europe map if you spawn somewhere on the atlantic/mediterranean you can rule the world with a small upgraded fleet.

The combat AI is wonky. On both land and sea, they don't know how to fight :/
