AI Definitely NOT Cheating

[Wizzington]

I should write some sort of posting bot to reply to any thread with the words 'AI' and 'cheat' in it.

No, AI does not cheat in either of these cases. I would need a repro save on the Austria situation to tell you what's going on there.

While op just doesn't know the game mechanics, the fact that EU hides its rules on a routine basis including both issues brought up leaves only some blame on him. Devs will always carry some on issues like this until basic gameplay rules are reasonably learnable without trial and error.

Except there is a post outlining exactly how the AI cheats and people apparently think it's there just for show.
