Just wondering of this bug happened to anyone else in campaign mode:
I was turks and the french started a crusade against me, when they got to constantinolpe, i fought. When the battle started, the french attacked me by sending one unit at a time, starting with there gen and then archers. So i easily destroyed them. This ever happen to anyone else?

yep, this happened frequently.

I love using massed archers and indeed enojoy those moments when they decided to walk up and down in front of my lines one by one.

By the end of the battles, I can accurately judge the range of my archers by radius of bodies on the ground. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/bigthumb.gif

Then there's always the battles where the AI units find some particular holy spot that they all want to stand on. Pretty soon almost all the AI units are mixed together on the same spot. Needless to say the hit rate of your missile units becomes extreme.

Why is it, that these funny bugs never happen to me?

At what difficulty level are you playing?

I'm playing on hard at the moment and the holy spot last happened a few days ago. I've also seen it on expert and in fact I see it very frequently. I thought everyone was seeing this all the time.

yep, this works on all difficulty levels and are noticeable and funny when you have 6+ missile units.

the AI always has problems countering massed and protected missiles even on expert.

The AI seldom attacks me with the general unit first http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/frown.gif

I often battle it out with every other unit in the field before reaching his general...at best his general attacks along with the rest of the army, and uses a lot of hit and run tactics, to win the charge bonushttp://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/flat.gif
