Hmm well I guess because I play all cav, I'm always attacking, hence I have very rarely seen the passive AI. In a siege defintely not, I have'nt seen it.
On field I've seen it, when it's completely screwed it just stands there (lol). In a siege, horses are (mostly) useless in the confines of the city and the cruddy garrison militia is (more useful but) useless too, so I sally out and do my thing.
That's only IF I ever get into a (defensive) siege situation. That has happened a total of about 2-3 times out of a total of 165 battles fought in current campaign.
There have been some huge battles, 1500 vs 2500, 700 vs 4000. For these battles I really get nervous with the timer one. It happened to me in MTW that I lost battles pointlessly, because of that timer. I was winning big time but there were too many enemy to kill in allocated time span.
Taught me another lesson too, quicksave at end of each turn.
