The AI at advanced will kick your rear end... Its not just the Ai, your Senate tends to work against you.

I lost my 1st 4 games on intry lvl becouse i refused to read all the rules... Try the hard lvl, adding the senat makes things even more fun!!!

The AI can be very tuff. It will do things differently depending on what you try. If you make a mistake it will pounce. I have found every game to be different.

yep, that was it. thanks for the quick post!!

just installed the game, and as soon as i take my 1st turn it does a CTD. Tryed with different countries and different scenarios and can not make a turn. just uninstalled it and redownloading it to retry. this is with the 1.2 patch. trying without the patch this time...

did same to me.
