Most of these are already reported as issues in Mantis.
ORIGINAL: testcase4321
1. I find that after conquering bits of Turkey my corps remaining in conquered Turkish provinces sometimes randomly teleport back to Russia. In fact, this has happened 3 out of 4 times so far, and I have no idea why. In fact, it just happened in the game I am currently playing (troops transported to Odessa). It tends to happen in Winter (February) as this is usually right before my spring campaign
Issues 165 and 108.
2. I can no longer invade England across the channel in France. This occurs even when there are no blocking British fleets.
Are you sure you have the crossing arrow turned on? This is now an option.
4. Placing fleets from Free States. This happened in previous versions as well, and Im not sure if it's a bug or just something goofy. When I conquer Sweden or Denmark and turn them into free states I seem to be able to place their fleets whereever I wish. This includes in the Black Sea, which I have done often. It would seem that a restriction to placing fleets in the home country makes much more sense.
Issue 40. It can also happen by accident.
2. I have noticed that the AI chooses the 'right' options for alliances. i.e. Austria/Britain/Prussia always seem to ally. However, even though they ally they are not able to work together. In fact, while declaring war on every major power in the game I find that only Turkey has invaded my Russia, and even then the Turks seem to be content to attack only provincial corps and not push the attack.
Issue 87, et al.
4. My declarations of war against Austria/Prussia/Britain have led to exactly zero corps invading Russia, coming towards Russia, or threatening me in any way. The game tends to pile up troops in the capital cities (particularly Austria) leaving the rest of the country open.
Issues 35, 147 and friends.
5. Fleet actions are still a bit suspect. I find the Brits dont concentrate their forces against the Russia Navy, leading to significant British losses.
That's not been logged before I suspect.
6. I don't see the French conquering any of the big power territories. They do a better job with the minor states at least, but are not aggressive enough. They also tend in my games to leave large forces in the Swiss area, and do not pull back until Paris is threatened.
Issue 35.
7. I have no idea what the Spanish are doing all game, but with close to no combat and at the Hard AI level, they seem to be my closest competition for game winners.
Issue 167.
1. Instituting the "Alternative great power" rules is really a must (mostly for PBEM play, sa the AI isnt up to challenging humans yet). It shakes up the game quite a bit and throws a wrench into the standard Turkey/Spain/France alliance vs British/Austria/Prussia/Russia alliance.
Issue 92.
2. This game really needs something like a 'badboy' rating. Another term for this is a 'Hate' rating (depending on what other games you have played). These terms refer to the computer opponents reacting to human players on the basis of the human player actions. Essentially, the more aggressive and powerful a human player is, the greater the likelihood of the computer players all ganging up and attacking the human player. I cant tell if EIA has this built into it, and from what I can tell it does not. But my expectation is that at some point, if I as the Russian player have conquered 1/2 the globe, then I should be a target for the AI.
Amusingly enough, I note the following quote from the AI log on Marshall's latest dev release:
Prussia is carbon-based. All humans must die!
3. The small map in the right bottom corner of the screen just bothers me. Its almost, but not quite useful. In addition to marking colors for conquered nations, it really should have a similar scheme for Free States. It is sometimes difficult to tell how powerful nations are, or how much they have spread, when a significant portion of their holdings dont show up on that map. I dont see why we cant have all the conquered and free state nations the same color.
Right click on the map and you will see a menu showing what can be highlighted. You can choose any combination of conquered, free states, and home territory.
