I totally agree with the cooments made about better CONTROL of AI forces.
I mean, think about it, - you are the senior commander. Reinforcements are on the way. And You can't co-ordinate their attack with yours. P-L-L-EASE!!

1. Having the option to give simple tactical commands to an AI General led army is dead right. I've had to tailor my Campaign tactics to ensure that I didn't get my high ranking city governor and his rubbish city guard and peasants involved in a combat which the army I was commanding was more than capable of handling.

2. There should be an option on the pre-battle screen which allows you to choose wether you want to be supported by troops in a nearby square.

Come on CA this is an absolute must to change.
