I do not play GalCiv2 all that much, so it's harder for me to notices exact changes in behavior, however it did seem that playing on painful, winning was a lot easier in TA than DL, as AI just didn't seem as aggressive and competent. I am not sure how much of the issues people are describing are real and how much are just exaggerations due to frustration, but I would like to know if these isses have been fixed in the latest patch, or what, if anything is being done about them?
