    Default Easiest Battle Ever....

    I forgot to get screenies until just now but I just had the easiest battle ever as the Seleucids...

    In my VH/VH campaign I sent a general and four groups of militia hoplites after three groups of Egyptian Nubian Spearmen

    The battle starts and I march my four hoplites in a line to face the Nubeans who had withdrawn near the corner of the map while sending the general on the far right flank to charge when necessary

    They respond by bringing two of their spearmen units to face my line and sending their general out in front of their defensive line perpendicular to my battle line facing my general and stand there without moving

    so the setup is like this:
    N ~ Nubian Spearmen
    C ~ Cavalry
    H ~ Hoplites

    = and || ~ Phalanx

    N N
    |||| N= C

    |||||||||
    H H H H

    No matter how I maneuver they refuse to move so I figure why not mess with them...

    I leave one hoplite group stretched out in front of their line just out of phalanx reach
    I bring two more around to the back of their line and (just out of range) point my spears at the backs of their units
    And I bring my final hoplite right behind their general (again, just out of range)

    and they sit there!! Its like their AI had shut off...

    So I decided to end it and had my three groups at their backs march in and their line was cut into pieces, they didn't even fight, they just fled...

    Their general managed to get a bit of a head start because he wasnt surrounded but my cavalry easily chased him down...

    Battle Results:
    Allies:
    Deployed:
    34x (4 hoplites of 80 each and a general's unit with 2x)
    Lost:
    0
    Enemies:
    Deployed:
    241 (3 nubians of 80 each and a general)
    Lost:
    241


    Anyone else had anything like this ever happen? It was like their AI stopped working... and this was my fourth battle of the campaign after returning to RTW after 2 or so years... Was the AI always this weird? Or was this a mistake?
