first i be tyou have never playeed stw mtw you started eith rtw

one the ai is alot better then in the pevious games were the computer would just walk tord you units with no startagy in this the ai on very hard atleat has a stragy.

two you play the army that was attacked or is attacking so if you dont want to play with forw horse men then dont atack or defend with them

three in this game the general attacks first becous ethis will give all of his units a humongus morall bust (this is game ai cant be perfiect, great ai under condicions though)if you dont like ai play multiplayer

four if population size unrestproblems play with large or huge armys and when a city gets unroudy becouse of population build a lot of solduirs and use them in a suicidle campane

five this game is so over du they have been working on it for ever i remember seeing prevuse when viking invastion came out

and what you think are bug are just problem in you playing or are just dislikes you have not actual bugs.
