I have to disagree with you here. AI cannot properly command light/missile units when you fight with several stacks, especially vs mongols or timurids. When i fight vs nomads like mongols, i take best generals and give to one stack of heavy offencive infantry, to another - stack of heavy offencive cavalry and i use defencive mixed army with lots of missile/muskets/cannons and some covering cavalry and spears/pikes. Using this method of army composition i have real fun 3v3 battles and sometimes wonder how clever can be AI under command of 10stars general and using simply composed army. Sometimes i think that i cannot play better than AI in this case. It also react on my moves sometimes
