EB AI Generals

[Vincent Butler]

Anybody have any idea why AI generals in EB are so good? I can't get hardly any command stars for mine, on E/E, and I am fighting seven and nine star generals. And their attributes don't add up. I am getting ready to fight a seven star general. I looked at his traits and retinue, he should only be a one star. I am not too concerned, the odds are such that I should get relatively easy victory, but still…Is this just the AI cheating, like they do to give themselves resources and such?~:confused:

It's all because of the way auto-calculation works. I can't remember all the details, but it's a necessary evil.

Yes, all A.I. generals get an invisible bonus to command. This is to even the field a bit, since the strategic A.I. doesn't know how to develop its generals, and the tactical A.I. simply isn't very good.

Does that go for Vanilla RTW as well? I have not noticed it as much there.

It's been years since I played vanilla, but no, I don't recall it. The A.I. command bonus is something EB changed.
