    The worst thing I've experienced when a Sughidian Rebels army spawns on a top of a mountain on VH.. They are invinsible. Last time, they killed around 2 of my armies..

Let him not laugh too gladly when the water runs through his fingers, nor stand too silent when the setting sun makes red the veld with fire. Let him not be moved when the birds of his land are singing, nor give too much of his heart to a mountain or a valley. For fear will rob him of all if he gives too much."

    Why not just leave them alone?

    They're on top of a mountain? What trade are they disrupting up there?

    The most aggravating thing to me is that when the AI's units rout, they run away from me at high speed--routing men on foot generally can outrace my cavalry. But when my units rout, they head directly into the AI's troops, even if I'm right at the edge of the map.

    ...Grouped Archers, Impetuous Charging Cavalry near spear infantry/phalanxes (Grouped = ClickityClickcliiickcliiiiiick!!!!!!!!!), 'Celebrating' Units that seem to find their wine skins on the battle field and ignore nearby enemy units, Routing Enemy Heavy Cavalry General faster than Light Cavalry (Triple Speed Timer! oh...*sigh*), Troops inablility to go up Guard towers in seiges or simply going the wrong way with walls involved , Settlement pathing for troop movement, Machine Gun seige Towers, Endless Naval Battles (No matter what the numbers on occasion ), Enemy assassin actualy successful and taking out your favourite general, Having to tediously go through 'fire at will' at beginning of every battle, General getting jumped in battle while you're concentrating on some exciting part of the battle field even though he was safe 30 seconds ago..., watching your small settlement destined population adding peasant army of 1200+ get annihilated just before its destination by an enemy army that pops out of nowhere...after years of movement of course..., Chariots aka Egypt, Lag in campaign map still bad...even with minimum +++ specs as specified in game and heaps more..., Forgetting to do something before the end of a turn and haven't quick saved in quite some time...

    Think that covers it : )

    Oh, and about modding ... even with backed up files etc (but various and scattered over the months :S )... and spending too many hours in forums then forgetting what I've learned three months later, and stuck with CTD and facing reinstalls which isn't the games fault (well sorta) but becoming very complex to me... being the irrational, and a bit inexperienced mod junky that I am!



    Wow! I do feel better...

    LOL, these annoyances make me wonder why I still play the game. The most aggravating thing for me though is spending 50 to 100 plus hours on a campaign and then losing intrest due to repetitive battles and sieges and the steamroller effect.

    That and also: population control, chasing horse archers with no battle time limit, and not having enough time to sally with battle time limit on.
