It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.

There is precious little to go on in that post. What do they mean by "static AI?" What conditions were they playing under, etc. Not enough to go on, and just about everyone has 1.2 and that doesn't cure any AI problems.

By static AI I think he means wandering AI stacks that don't seem to have any goal whatsoever beside trampling the countryside.
It may have happened once or twice in my campaigns but they didn't stay idle forever, they were on the move again 3 turns later.
It's possible that AI stacks have a chance of getting stuck in a state where they won't attack, and have to be jolted out of that state by some aggressive act against them. If so, you might see passive stacks in some campaigns and not in others. If you could see the flowchart of the AI logic, you could easily identify these states.

Sure, it seemed a very thin post. But going on the ludus magna posts there seems to be wider AI bugs which could be characterised as "static" ai.
What interested me was the suggestion that patching straight to 1.2 from a clean install might help. Has anyone done this? Is there any reason why it would work?

i can guarantee you whatever "fix" this person was talking about is bunk. I myself did that after a format and i'd never known about this "load-save bug" until i started playing after a few month's hiatus. So fresh install with immediate 1.2, after formatting - and buggier than a roach motel.
