Do the AI factions receive military as well as monetary assistance?

[Stelios]

A question i have been wondering for a long time now-do the AI factions recieve free extra troops when they are in trouble? Playing as the Romani, i have invaded Iberia, and annhilated what i thought was Lusotana's sole large army. Two turns later, several medium size armies and a full stack showed up out of nowhere. My initial assumption was that they had been hiding (for the whole game?), because i toggled the Fog of War off, and had been playing close attention to their troop movements for a while. Each turn following that initial battle, more and more half stacks showed up out of nowhere, when thier cities and the countryside were nearly empty the turn before. I really cannot explain it. I am aware the AI factions receive monetary assistance when they need it, which leads me to ask- is the AI receiving extra units (more than he could possibly produce in one turn)?? Has this spamming happened to anyone else?

that was mercs... the AI did receive a lot of money, so, coupled with EB's massive mercenary lists with pretty decent regeneration rate, made AI often over use them

Yep - only solution is to hire the mercs yourself to stop the enemy getting them.

or go into descr_mercenaries, reduce all unit pools to 1 mercenary, and triple mercenary refresh rate.

that will made sure the AI got 10 new units or more in each turn...

suggestion : divide refresh rate by 3

Giving them military help would be the better solution, but it would be a modding nightmare and might even double the already extensive EB script.
