unsynced Multiplayer AI

One thing that bugs me when playing eb cooperative with some friends in a lan is that the AI is not synced across the network. For example, in my screen an enemy unit charges on my left flank, while on my friend's computer the same is nowhere near there, often doing something completely different. And the battle outcomes are completely different between us, even though we can see eachother's troops.

This makes cooperative playing pretty much useless, as each of us could just as well play a singleplayer game. Is this a bug? is it a plane? no it is... bad!

Just wondering if anyone else gets the same problem, or know a fix.

we're using EB 1.1 with MC formations and Silhuet's AI formations.

No idea. I would suggest to fight human opponents instead.

i'm afraid that doesn't work either. After we tried human vs human today the battle ended alltogether different for each one of us. I had lots of spearmen, and they had lots and lots of missile cavalry. On their screens my units stood their ground as i instructed them to, but the cavalry beat them down after a while, showing them as the victors.
On my screen though, i succeded and won by a huge margin as their cavalry stormed right into my phalanxes.

this only happens in EB, we've been forced to play vanilla rtw when we play together

what???

so in your screen you won , but in his screen he won?

since its online gaming my guess would be a -really bad- lag <.<

what if you try with smaller unit sizes ? are you playing wth hamachi or gamespy? if the second, try to use the first one...

it's not online, it's through a lan, and everything is synced as in my units attack what i order them to attack on his screen, but the location and status of my troops are not the same on both screens.
So lag is not the issue.
