Ridiculous "gameplay"

[The_Emperor]

That's just stupid and frustrating in my opinion, ESPECIALLY due to the ridiculous suicide charging AI reinforcement generals we have in the game right now

it is a valid tactic, and one that the player can exploit against the AI as well. if your army faces up against two armies and has the option of attacking the weaker one or the stronger one, what would you do?

If you attack the weaker one the AI has to bring on the stronger larger army as reinforcements, this gives you the chance to destroy the smaller force before they arrive as the larger one will have to trudge across the map to get to you.

As for "ridiculous suicide charging AI reinforcement generals", I have only ever fought one battle where the AI charged my general in ahead of my army and got him killed, so it is hardly conclusive. Just last night I had a battle where my AI force managed to get to the enemy before I could, and I was the one who was forced to come in late like reinforcements while the AI defeated the enemy on a hill...

If you don't like the AI controlling your generals then you shouldn't give it the opportunity to do so.

You can't have played much then.

I wouldn't if I could freaking help it!

Why would you ever beseige with 4 armies in the first place? Sure the system doesn't work perfectly, but you're just asking to be screwed with a setup like that. You would never be able to go through more than 1 full stack of reinforcements in a battle anyway, so why bring the other 2 and risk this scenario?

Just because it was Rome that I was besieging and I wanted be like ha ha **** you Romans this is what your warmongering has brought you!!!! this was the end of a long and bitter war you see. It felt good. Also silly me thought that the defenders wouldn't dare to sally against such a huge besieging army....I didn't know the game treated it as four separate armies conducting four separate sieges and that the AI could attack whichever quarter it wanted at leisure....

still, it should give me the option to control whichever army I want.
