On a scale of 1 through 10, how would you rate the performance of the AI in the game?

Say 4 and a half. But it can surprise you...the other way around is also true unfortunately. How many games do you know that will have a high score on your scale? Strategy kind.
Well if I were to play a certain province lets say one that is much smaller....that is one that isn't earning much ducats than what the AI is playing and I can win 10 games out of 10 games then I really have to rate it zero! But there are other factors to take into consideration when rating the AI. Like for instance did I just squeak by in winning. Now I have played EU quite a few times and with this experience on an even playing field(that is to say if everything was equal...same size provinces, same size earnings, etc etc) I can kick ass every single time. This may make the game sound like a piece of garbage but thats not so. I have spent many hours playing/enjoying the game. The thing I enjoyed most about EU was the learning experience. First, by trying on my own with the limited manual, then with this forum.
Walter- what would be a game if you couldn't win 
It just shows your skill if you can win every game with a small province- some people can't do this, and it would ruin the game for them.

Already done, just testing it now
3 the AI is mostly really dumb.
but in special cases they can be a bit of a problem

Flipping the question
Coming back to Szordrin's question ... what game of this nature would you give an '8' to?

About 4.
The main problem is its war strategies. Very poor. Either by not defending the capital or by sharing out the forces badly ( e.g. for Poland, while at war against Prussia/Brandenburg, Austria and Helvetia, will send all of its soldiers in Helvetia. doh!).

A cunning plan? (No weasel references)
Maybe this is cunning AI. (Too cunning / optimisitic for us to realise.)
We all know that fighting a multi-front war is a bad idea.
Perhaps the AI realises that, and calculates that Helvetia is the easiest foe to knock out of the war, and so tries a surgical-strike to even the sides ...
