The AI is busted by their own "unfair" advantage. Milan produces their cheap uber-unit (milan crossbow militia) by hordes in the beginning of the game and quickly captured a lot of towns. Now it is the middle of the game and Milan proceeds to produce hordes of the same unit - which is already obsolete. Meanwhile they don't have a single "huge" city because every florin is used for mass-recruiting.
I second that! I haven't seen much evidence of the AI being given unfair advantages or "cheating" but even if it were allowed to do things I'm not I don't mind as long as it provides a challenge. I've had much more fun in my campaigns when I have to fight for survival than when I've been able to steamroll the opposition. Much more interesting when I'm riding on the edge of my seat watching the AI moves with fingers crossed on the brink of having my nation fall apart.Quote:
