i ahvent played that long but have a a qrond 10 battles but they have all been quite large ones minmum of 10 units a side, and i havent yet seen the peicemenal attack. in all cases the AI has either come at me with all its forces. or quite a large protion of it. in some cases its kept reserves hidden which really did suprise me the first time and ended up losing the battle. its protects its general, its tried to take out my general when possible in one case it had 4 units of light cavalry right at my general cos he was staning in a gap of the front line. its send light cavalry way round the flank to get at my arty. they went so far i forgot them till they were too close to my arty, the AI have sent one or two units at a time but as soon as i engage them it has reacted to the situation by flanking and even suding units behind cover when my units engage. ive only won a batle where i am outnumberes when the ai was seriously lacing in quality. if the ai had proper quality troops and theu outneumberes be i have only barely survived or lost. i dont say i am an expert and it took me a while to figure out how to use firearms. standing aroudn shooting was really going against my TW instincts. but i'm getting better and i havent seen the AI do anything really stupid yet. theyve been forced to do stupid stuff but i would like to think thats becasue of my monuevering abilty ratehr than me just stainding around and the AI walking into their deaths.

it would be interesting to see if the people who are complaining are what i like to call power players. they basically try to exploit the game in anyway posisble and trick the AI. i dont think the AI will ever be able to cope with that. also the difficulty seems to make a difference so maybe that is a factor to consider. i ahvent yet had a seige battle so cannot comment on that. and i have only played the grand campaign
