what a bunch of crap. they surely think we are fools. just try to play without fog of war (edit preferences file) and you will see that the AI lifts the siege every time, WITHOUT ANY THREAT! sometimes the AI lifts the siege, stays in place, and the next turn it starts the siege again. CA are simply sour loosers.However, to describe this as a gamebreaker is a little unfair, and a misunderstanding of the game's AI. What's actually happening is more subtle than the doomsayers would have you believe. The AI does a regular reasssement about the best use for its forces. If one or more armies are engaged in a siege and it decides that there is a higher priority usage for them elsewhere it will lift the siege and use them somewhere else. The player might not understand why this is happening, but often the reasons for the AI acting this way may be covered by the fog of war - a Gallic siege might have to be lifted because the Gauls have suddenly come under attack by the Britons, for example, but the player can't 'see' this happening.
