Another big battle with Darth Mod, still no improvement on holding a line.

Battle starts and it all looks good. They've been deployed initially in the right place:



Oh, spoke too soon. My army is visible and in one line, they're not moving. Yet the AI is already breaking up it's line and heading all over the place.



Special bonus: suicide charge by the enemy general before the lines have even met.



Where does he charge? Yep, you guessed it, into the front of formed up spearmen.



Their line is now all over the place.



This is not a line.



Some of them can't even face the units they're attacking.



Why are they almost all sideways-on?



Is there anything that improves the way the AI handles phalanxes? Because at present it's just useless.

And why does the AI kill off it's generals so often?
