Seconded... better be sorry than safe (at least when it concerns M2TW)...

Most players have proven themselves highly above average when fighting the AI in previous games and I think the AI will need all the help we can give it... Money is a good start

HIGHLY above average is perhaps even being too modest. It's amazing what you can accomplish when the pressure is on. I did things in KotR that I never dreamed of doing in normal game play.

I shocked the hell out of myself a few times.

It's an advanced group of players...and if some can't cut the standard then it creates a good level of differentiation between players.

I have no idea where I stand really - maybe somewhere in the middle. I've beaten well over 2000 soldiers with 240 horse archers, I've beaten back well over 8000 mongol troops with a thousand poorly equipped militia in several sieges, yet I've had entire armies crumple under the weight of massed infantry charges, from being outnumbered with little in the way of support, and losing to superior ranged fire, always when I have a deficit in medium cavalry.

If the AI is able to catch me with superior troops, troops that have an inherent advantage over mine, and in superior numbers, and I have little in the way of cavalry or swordsmen, then the battle will either be Pyrrhic or will result in a devastating loss if I do not have terrain advantage.

Maybe thats the norm , but I don't think it is.

No need to worry. You're in the highly advanced category YLC!!

What I want though, is for us to worry about the AI. That would make a nice change.

If troop quality is equal, and terrain isn't hugely favorable to one side or the other, and the Lusted AI has 2 to 1 ratio in numbers, it can be a flip of the coin sometimes for who wins.
