I have had no instances of stupid battle AI.

Usually I have more problems with deploying my troops.

Why is it the game only allows you to hide on one side of a wall? And why is it always the side the enemy is coming from?

Now if we go on to the subject of the campaign AI that is a whole other issue. Friends and trade partners declaring war for no reason. Minors going to war just because you are next door.

The new more aggressive AI is a farce. They declare war but with the other changes they have no money for troops so they hold up in their cities and wait for you to come to them.

Something needs to be done. If naval invasions did work then it would turn into a real mess.

At the moment I figure the reason they don’t take place is because no one has enough troops! And if the troops were there then we would all be overwhelmed by the flood of minor armies attacking.

Pirates taking Jamaica and Iceland no doubt. Persians attacking Mexico. Give me a break!
