As soon as I start, and while my units are still blocked (earlier land units unblocked in turn 4), the AI takes or destroys freely as many settlements as it wants. When I start to play it has about 150 to 180 VP advantage.
Even taking all the objective cities and towns except for the more difficult Quebec and Mont Royal, and winning constantly battles and getting from these several VPs it's impossible to cope with such an advantage in a game where (because of the shortness - 42 turns) the total VPs are around 500.
Moreover, I cannot believe that killing "x" units of militia (usually 1 component) and destroying "y" miserable settlements, plus having Pemaquid (I think that's the name) for 5 turns can give 150-180 VPs.
Especially since I don't get these points when I later kill their militias, burn their villages to ashes and keep Pemaquid for most of the rest of the game.
Cheats for the AI or is there some strange reason for this? Is this WAD?
