    Guess I should have asked (hypothetically) if it handled a task reasonably well would you like to be able to use it (at least until you're less busy)?

    For instance hunting down routers, rather than looking like it will and then giving up, allowing them to return to battle later.

    I'd use the feature for fun if the AI was fairly good at it, but not in critical battles.
    The purpose of a fish trap is to catch fish, and when the fish are caught, the trap is forgotten. The purpose of a rabbit snare is to catch rabbits. When the rabbits are caught, the snare is forgotten. The purpose of words is to convey ideas. When the ideas are grasped, the words are forgotten. Where can I find a man who has forgotten words? He is the one I would like to talk to.

    Sometimes I use this option - when I got a big reinforcement I don't feel like messing up with. I place it under AI's control and although it acts not like I would, it still creates a thorn in the enemy's side.

    I experimented in an Historical battle, which with Play Balance Mod, I was not able to win (the opposition army looks far better balanced). Part of reason, was that the battle appeared to run double speed, making it impossible to give orders fast enough, unless I kept using pause key, which I didn't manage to make myself do.

    So trying the AI Group feature, it re-arranged the cavalry putting some on left flank opposite Ele's (oops), and lined up the lines, rather than using Quincunx formation. It caused far fewer casualties to enemy, than even my worst performances.

    I like to have my armies under my control. The AI can do things wrong and mess up the battle. Pontus was my ally and i was attacking Ancyra. They arrived at the last breath of the battle,the rebels had near 10 naked fanatics left.
