OK, the AI has finally done something that surprised me.. ALOT.
I'm using the 1.02 patch and I'm playing Milan on M/VH. I had taken Vienna from the HRE and they had come back and sieged it.
First turn of the siege they start building siege equipment and I sally out to knock out as many missile troops as possible.
Second turn I am informed they've got the gates open. They start rolling a single siege tower towards me while EVERYTHING ELSE is dropped. They do a three prong attack against me, heavy cav to the east, general followed by some cav and a lot of infantry against my main gate, and some infantry goes to the West.
I've never seen the AI be so smart before. They did about what I'd have done to them, and they slaughtered my troops.
They waited me out for a turn to reduce my garrison (in this case I lost my unit of crossbows knocking out one of their units of crusader knights) then pulled a fast one on me before I could remove their sieging army.
Lets just say, if the AI started being that bright all the time a certain Pizza person wouldn't be able to blitz so easily.
