thw war ai in this game is crippling all challange
for context i have a decent amount of experience,about 2000 hours in eu4 and 2000 is hoi4,few hundreds more in their other titles.nive played every modern paradox title
i dont think paradox has ever had a game where the ai is nearly as terrible as this game,they basically adopt one of two stratagies
put everything into one big stack,and wander around looking for something to do. this always leads to the ai having stacks with less than 20% morale. which eventually i can ambush and instawipe
they split into a billion small stacks,that i pick off with 0 effort.
in both cases,their miltary advantages have 0 effect. because of this,antagonism means nothing. i can conquer as much as i want,and im confident i can easily beat the ai when outnumbered 10-1,while having less than 50 hours in this game. i dont even feel this confident playing hoi4 on very easy.
this leads to everything miltary related being meaningless,and the game feeling sloppy as a result
