Does the Game Cheat during Battle?

[Geezer57]

Also, AI generals get melee bonuses exponentially(seems like it atleast) proportional to their star level while your generals seem to get the normal linear bonuses. This means, you get the Jedi general effect. AI 9 star generals that WILL NOT DIE. That's the only real glaring cheat the AI has, but they are fun sometimes.

Don't swarm Jedis with lots of your troops - you'll only suffer the "squeeze" penalty and fight at half effect. Take one unit to pin them, and focus lots of missle troops (especially armor-piercing ones) on them. Your unit will take some friendly-fire losses, but the high-valor enemy will take more. Bolts and javelins aren't affected by valor boosts, they still kill at full effect. I like to keep one fast cavalry nearby, for the pursuit if the Jedi takes off running. More money if you can capture and ransom that enemy heir, etc.
