I've always wondered why the AI is sooooo stupid, i mean i just had a huge heroic victory as pahlava today, with only my heir with about 60 bodyguards (huge settings) and the seleukids had something like 700 pantodapoi phalangitai wich i intercepted while they were going to persepolis, i made a massacre!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 20 casualties on my part and 691 on his, and all because right before a charge the AI "turns off" (for lack of a better term) phalanx mode.
So why is it that the rtw ai is so stupid? i mean the mtw was much smarter but that came out earyier.
