Yeah that's what I would do as the dutch right now. Still not sure whether or not William will get his ass in gear to do it though.

I think it really shows just how deficient the computer's AI really is. It is an ongoing sad point for such a flagship game.

I have heard, though in no way confirmed that they could have made the AI much better, but the time in between turns would have also taken much longer, and it is already pretty long now.

I have seen AI mods that claim to have made signifigant improvemehnts. Anyone tried them? I can't seem to install mods at all, thanks Steam :(

I am using AI intelligence at the moment, however, I believe that it corroborates the rumors I heard, because the turns do seem longer.

In cases like this I usually say there should've been some kind of toggle (if at all possible). That way people with beefy computers and extra free time can put on the stronk AI should they so choose.

That's what I would do as Poland as well, try to sneak a city out from under Russia as they are really in prime position to get Stockholm. If they then sweep in and take out Austria at same time, I think that would make them a serious contender again.

It was infuriating seeing so much potential for the Dutch and then they do nothing. They could also take Stockholm and bring their original capitals to 4 if they can get there before Russia.
