I had this weird situation the other day. I invade a province that had just a few peasants in in with 400 of my men and pressed 'End of Turn'. During the opponents phase the enemy moved 600 units in to defend. I though ok, and reloaded.
This time I moved in 700 of my men and upon pressing End of Turn the enemy now moved in like 950 or so.
I always thought all the turns were taken 'simultaneously' but this clearly proves otherwise.
Hell sure it does know. Had several situations. Once i by accident attacked the wrong stack of ships (was an ally of me). So i canceled the attack and attacked another player (enemy) and sure as hell my ally promptly cancelled his allians and declared war.
Anyway i think that one of the Devs also said that it was one of the few advantages the AI has...
For me it can stay this way, the AI is to easy as it is already..
same feeling,
the russians has two lightly defended provinces, and a larger force behind. I get one stack in one of its province, and his reserve stack moves into it as well. I reboot, change region, and surprise surprise the reserve stacks changes too.
I'm in expert, and I hadn't noticed that in normal (where on the contrary the AI alsways seemed to take bad decisions).
+ even in expert the AI has more often than not taken bad decisions, so I'm not sure of what to make of it.
My ally of 200 years declared war on me the same turn I assasinated his ugly, fat ass daughter. I fought the battle right after I found out she was dead.

People keep asking this.
The AI makes its decisions the same way as you, based on what it can see at the start of the turn. It doesn't get to see your moves first. In Shogun it did. In Medieval it doesn't.

If *you* had a province with only a few peasants in it, and there was a 400-man army massing in a neighbouring province, what would you do? Wait a turn to see what the enemy does, or move in enough reinforcements to put up a good defence in case he invades?

My point is that the units were taken from the same stack, with a certain proportion defending the non-threatened province and another portion moving into the one I was about to attack. The proportion however depended solely on how many units I moved (also from the same stack)
