HUGE bug: Enemy intercepts, then doesn't attack. timer runs out, and I lose?!?!?!?

[Prussian to the Iron]

it doesnt matter. if you're just going to continually shove 'search function' down my throat, than just dont talk to me.

Chill out guys!

People are trying to help

[Prussian to the Iron]

hes not trying to help; hes being just like a bunch of others and telling every other person to use t search function. i consider this spam; it is irrelevant to the topic most o the time. the last 6 posts here (plus the 1 he made at the start) have been about the damn search function. its annoying.

The reason people suggest the use of the search function is that you can find the answer yourself, without needing to create another topic. Its teaching you independance, as you are finding the infomation out for yourself.

Its like trying to fix a problem without reading the FAQ/instructions about the darn thing.

Actually, if you click on my name and then go to my public profile, then under the big version of my name should be a thing saying "User lists", if you click that, the option to add to your ignore list comes up.

fyi, I placed you on ignore about 4 months ago.

edit: Also, congratulations on getting a thousand posts!

may there be many more to come.

[Prussian to the Iron]

Ah, I sort of sub moderate the Modding section and my own mod, that may be it.

Silly vBulletin.

I'm not sure what logic (if that can be called "logic") was CA following when they coded the AI's battle behavior when it gets intercepted by a fort-based force and the AI supposedly has to ATTACK the interceptor (the player).

Example: 3 AI's line units + some cavalry + 1 cannon get intercepted by my star-fort based stack(!). Knowing that the AI will attack, I decide not to wait for the exhausted ninja acrobats in the square, but to speed things up and put the troops (most of them) out to meet the "raiders" in the field.

What do you think the AI does? It sends it's 3 line units RUNNING in a bee-line for my walls. The irony is that on their merry martyr way the AI's troops are passing by my lined up field troops and while being shot to pieces with rank-fire.

Survivors reach the wall, do their ninja rope-bit, (while getting even more exhausted) and then rout instantly... Note that it was not the case that the inside of the fort was empty and the AI had any hope of marching into the square and winning the battle by capturing "the flag".

1. 3 line + cavalry + 1 cannon should not ATTACK a full stack; they should RUN for their lives. Back to where they came from preferably.
2. who on earth came up with the bit of programming that makes the AI completely ignore what's going on in the field?
