Appears I'm the only one dissapointed in the A.I

Im really quite dissapointed with the AI.

Even of the hardest setting the enemy AI is really poor when its forces are split, failing quickly when their allies are attcked. It also seems to sometimes ignore cavalary units Im using to flank, or if it does do anything it seems to react really slowly. Siege battle have been a real let down in general as far as the AI is concerned.

AI needs alot of improvment, but, still a fantastic game and one Ive been waiting for ever since MTW I.

What difficulty are you playing at?

Well as for the AI not responding to flanking units I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve totally missed an AI’s unit outflank and attack me from behind because I’ve been busy else where but I’ve not once seen the AI complain about my lack of attention.

I hope the AI is better than in Rome though, I think just not having the entire enemy army route because solider_456 stubs his toe on a rock before they get half way across the battlefield will help enormously though.

That's good news about the patch. I'm surprised they let that issue into release though considering much of the game is spent defending and not aggressively attacking the A.I.

The battle A.I is definitely better than any Rome version (modded or official). I liked the way the A.I left mounted knights with a row of balistas to guard against my flanking knights.

It's not perfect, but I think it's going to present far more of a challenge than any other Total War game. Once the patch is released, of course.

I'll also enjoy the game more when we see the likes of Medieval 2 Total Realism, or other such mods. I prefer slower kill rates, hating to see entire units become decimated within seconds. Gives more tactical options for the player and the A.I.

So far I'm impressed by the AI.
Yes the passive bug is slightly annoying but luckily it doesn't happen all the time.
What I'm most impressed about is how it handle itself in seiges.
They switch troops to counter the threat properly(They use archers at the beginning but when you get close they switch and send up melee troops to counter your troops scaling the walls).
They fall back to the different rings when the previous one has been over run.
So much better then the seige AI in RTW.
