From the plethora of hands on articles made by Gamespot, IGN, Eurogamer and others we can see that they have mentioned how the AI has improved.
One notable example is with the recent article on CVG where they were playing as the Continental Army against the British at Bunker Hill. They show the AI’s tenacity as shown below.
“My men bayed a war cry that mingled with the stampeding hooves of their mounts, charging for glory with swords outstretched, racing past an abandoned farm before collapsing en masse as a group of garrisoned enemy snipers parted them from their brains as they rode past. This was going to be tougher than I thought.”
It shows the AI’s astute thinking by placing sharpshooters in an abandoned farm where the AI used it to devastating effect. If the AI becomes this good then I can imagine many people whether hardened or inexperienced in past games being dealt a nasty surprise by the AI.
What do you think?
General Rawlinson- This is most unsatisfactory. Where are the Sherwood Foresters? Where are the East Lancashires on the right?
Brigadier-General Oxley- They are lying out in No Man's Land, sir. And most of them will never stand again.
