...And Medieval's isn't?To compare Rome with MTW (one of the greatest strategy games of all time) is a joke. Even if you ignored all the bugs in Rome, the fact remains that the battlefield AI is a steaming pile of plop.
The sole aspect of MTW's AI that was superior was the strategic AI. It actually used concentrated forces. Because it has to. Because that's how the strategic map is designed
But the battlefield AI? Heh. I picked up the battlepack a few weeks ago, because I'd heard on these boards, so often, that MTW was better.
And, erm, it isn't. First battle I played, the AI proceeded to march its melee infantry right up to my line of four longbow units...and dress its lines. While its troops were falling by the dozen with each arrow volley, it took the time to adjust its facing, make some minor changes to its formation, and so on. By the time it stopped, the infantry had already begun to break under the arrows. Not one of the AI's units reached my archers.
Yeah, that sure is stellar AI, right there *cough*
