Sallying / mongols and seige bug

[rorarii]

Ok, here's my complaint(s);

When being besieged by 4 Mongol armies, and sallying out to attack, I've noticed the following bugs happen.

(1) The RTW AI bug where the enemy army just sits there to be destroyed by archers / cannons etc is BACK AGAIN .. it was fixed in RTW.
(2) With 4 armies against me, the game stalls to sub 1 frame per second (not even a slide show) (Pentium 4 2.8, 1Gig RAM, Radeon XT850X) I have graphic settings on minimum for everything. Now I'm not sure if thats the so called ladder bug at work, even though I'm sallying and there are NO ladders .. or whether it's just too many soldiers? But on low detail most soldiers should be just sprites! I don't understand why the stall is happening.
(3) Mongols with MAX star generals are ridiculous! Horse archers ride down Janisarry halberdmen .. on bridges! No general should have stars above 5.
(4) when exiting a sally battle (no time limit), I've found the battle is a draw but I've lost a large numbers of soldiers, totally unrelated to the battle that was just fought!?


Otherbugs I've found are;

(1) On hard difficulty, Turks are hated by everyone, even other muslim nations. They attack, i defend, relations crash and it's impossible to rebuild. .. and then the Mongols come
