Different Beta-builds of NTW to mislead reviewers?

Here is a quote of Niesmiertelnik from today:

Regarding BAI i must say that i am negatively surprised because there's a big difference between first and second beta i received.
Unfortunately second beta AI is much worse.
First build was giving an impresion that line infantry is good opponent and light infantry and partially cavalry are incompatible.
Build i got now is serving serie of flaws making AI unpredictible, but it is unpredictibility in worse sense - i never know if this battle will be like wandering + some other weird behaviour or finally units ll be trying to use their advantages.

Full list of discovered flaws ll be served on Saturday or Sunday. It may be quite long............

His previous summary was much more optimistic: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=332079

Are there existing different Beta-builds to mislead reviewers? Whats your opinion?

Sounds like they had it one way, thought they could make it better by tweaking something and it went horribly wrong. Hopefully it's back to the first way in the release version or the day one patch.

i think the release version is already done since some people already recieved an email from their retailer that the game is on its way

Woohoo a day one patch, where have we seen this before. Hmmm

they announced weeks ago there would be a day one patch-I don't know why you are trying to draw connections on something we knew was coming already

like m2tw?

How does updating the beta version mean they are misleading the reviewers, if I may ask?
Sounds disappointing, though, it was quite similar with ETW - works, doesn't work, works, doesn't work... but we'll hear more then.

No Lucullus, i do not believe in conspiracy theory here. It just looks like basing on reviews someone tried to improve few points and messed up.

As i told - units do not want to use houses in newer build. That means this element has been changed immediately.

Hopefully they retained the 1st Beta

I'm guessing that, with it being a BETA, they were testing stuff out

Oh Noes!

The AI went HAL on them again!

oh dear looks like CA have done it again. Empire's weird BAI behaviours introduced in patch 1.4 have returned. What a mess...AGAIN!!!!

Its Creative Assembly's lack of quality control at work again. They make changes to the AI and don't adequately test the results. Recall those early patches for ETW? CA actually introduced new bugs with their patches.
