I’ve been beaten by the Ai, several times in fact. Even when I win I often take heavier casualties than my RTW/m2TW average. What disappoints me most is the AI's inability to even come at me in a straight line. Is it really that hard to program? Here is a visual illustration of what happens virtually every time I fight a field battle (this was on expert, although the Ai is this retarded on every difficulty level) It also really sucks when instead of trying to exchange volleys the AI merely charges in melee at the first opportunity, or charges its cavalry into my lines piecemeal (which they do every time)


The AI marched its line infantry toward my own line in fairly good order, but instead of closing to range and opening fire, it wheeled to its right and presented its flanks to my men at point blank range as it shuffled in confusion. Ive seen the RTW AI do better with NTW2 on custom battles without scripting. It is pathetic.
