This is not an EBII problem, it's a Total War games problem. It was as bad, if not worse in EB1, at least I do actually see armies merging.
What I'm talking about is this:
Instead of all these units being combined into a single, decent-sized stack, we have a blizzard of ultimately useless little armies which can be easily beaten piecemeal. No doubt it also slows between-turn times to be tracking the movement of seven armies rather than one.
It annoyed the ever-living crap out of me in EB1, because it prevented me ever getting decent battles out of some factions. I took to adding units to their armies via the console so that it wasn't yet another pointless cakewalk.
Is there anything that can be done to encourage the AI to merge, concentrate and otherwise combine the forces at their disposal?
