pow902 said:I patched the game and fired up an old savegame to try it out and I actually noticed quite a big difference in game dynamics immediatly. I had gotten a bit sloppy in my wars and routinely engaged in two front wars against bigger foes in 1.1, but my strategy failed utterly this time. My deep penetration armies bled out over several battles, remnants got slaughtered after merciless pursuits and super-quick wars with constant assaults just didn´t work and cost me a lot of men, as it should be. Losing a big battle on my flank suddenly meant four of my twelve field armies were decimated and could not regain their strenght to fight again for several months!
Overall my first impression is very good, some new challenges and some old quirks ironed out, great work again with the patch guys!
Same boat. I've found my recent military pursuits more challenging. I'm more careful with my army compositions, and I wish my enemies didn't have 4K elephants, ouch!
