AI Blunders

AI blunder or just a bad general. playing ERE the sassanids came at me with 2 3/4 stacks. it must have been the onagers because his clibinari immortals stay back and watched his army get decimated. once the onagers were out of ammo they attacked. by this time i surrounded the immortals with 6 units including a rear charge by my general. so much for immortal. AI did sneak some camel raiders around and hit my now out of ammo archers. my blunder, bring more calvary

Unlike me, in MTW the AI never waits, fully prepare and tidy up their reinforcement in non-river battles. In other words, there is no such thing as "second wave." Their units of reinforcement advance one by one. This costs them the battle when they bring 5-6 siege engines and my troops are too tired to march across the map and destroy them.

heheh, it's always bringing siege weapons and parking them miles out of range!
i think the AI has an obsession with them...sometimes it'll march half way round the battlefield to get out of the firing line of my siege weapons.

MTW: VI - no patch

Situation: 1330 AD. I am Polish. Empire consists of Norway, Sweden, Prussia, Poland, Silesia, Hungary, Croatia, Venice, Serbia, Greece, Constantinople, Bulgaria, Wallachia, Carpathia, Moldavia, Crimea, Kiev, Volhynia, Lithuania, Livonia. Also have Nicaea, Trebizond, and Georgia but don't want them. I had to take the latter three in ransoming Byz Monarch. GH holds eveything east of me save for Novgorod and Finland. As you know, Georgia borders Khazar, which has had at various times 4K-9K troops since the initial 25K invasion. Georgia has been garrisoned by a whopping 26 men for 65 years! Yet, the Khan will not invade it. Instead he sends his lackeys to die in the Crimea, Lithuania, or Kiev once every decade or so. Why will he not take advantage of this situation? I am trying to give it to him. He could take all three of my Anatolian provinces and I would not care. ALL are garrisoned by less than 50 men! What gives? I WANT him to take them and become stronger! Could it be that the fortification are too big? All have citadels. Would he be forced to assault them because of the small garrison? Does he not think he can afford the losses he will take in said assault? One note, I built them to that level. I took them with mere keeps.

Well, the A.I. would indeed lose a lot of men trying to siege that out. Also, it seems that the Golden Horde is programmed to go for Kiev in reference to any other province.
