Why this game discourages me from what Ive read.

I understand Paradox's position, but its the wrong position in my opinion. If Paradox doesn't have the resources to translate events into every language where the game is released, then they should focus their resources on doing as much as they can for the largets number of consumers that they can. If I had to guess, I'd say a super-super majority of purchasers for this game speak English, with the only sizable minorities speaking French, German, and Swedish.

Actually.. There's a significant part thats Russian, French, German & Spanish (about 60%). And also, we must support all releases the same.

But the AI should really be more interested in peace instead of making each war a 10 year long saga. The AI seems to force you to utterly crush it before peace is an option.

Would you give land to the AI if you thought you could still win the war?

If the other country succesfully started using defensive modern fronts (as the human player tends to do) I guess any country would have followed suit even back in the Victorian era. Don´t you think?

Indeed. Quite a few of the "problems" stem from the AI playing well instead of playing historically. Not to say there are no problems though, but it's still a great game.

There is a difference between "win the war" and "win the war and not have racked up 2million in debt while doing so."

On a side note, I've spent the last few hours slaughtering the Mexicans as the USA. The peace system isn't broken by any means. But it could be tweaked. Which is all I want.

Oh I agree it could be tweaked. Maybe you are making more reasonable offers than me. Quite often in EUII you could rush in, grab a bunch of provinces and the capital and make peace before the AI could get it's army together. Having tried to do that in Vicky I've found the AI is much more likely to refuse the peace, gather up it's army and kick me out before taking a white peace, or even invading me. Since I (and most players) don't like losing this tends to turn most wars into WWI, but it's better than the AI rolling over and dying as soon as you get the upper hand. Hopefully a bit of tweaking will find a good middle ground

I do wish that some inclusion of tech disadvantage was considered by the AI as it can be frustrating to know that one's own 10 division army can and will annihalate a backward nation's 150 divs, yet they assume they have a chance.

If the AI only looks at army size that's bad. There should be something like "my army tech/ enemy army tech * army size = combat power" then the AI could compare the CP ratings instead.
