While their landlubber counterparts continue to do bright things such as stand within range of cannon towers until routed/eliminated, the naval AI seems to be a lot smarter in 1.2. My Scottish fleet, with 4 much-needed generals, left Edinburgh for Antioch with a full 20 unit stack and was harassed all the way by every enemy going - Mongols, Milan, Spain, Egypt. It seemed as if word had got around that 4 family members were onboard and they did everything to delay and whittle down the fleet, which arrived at Antioch with just 3 full units.
The surround tactic in the pic was tried 3 times, luckily when I attacked only 3 stacks at a time ever took part in the battle against me.
