Impossible to defend no matter what you try. They kill everything in their way.
They have 2 more fullstacks in Iberia which are a bit weaker but still something close to this. I really have to use my best general and run around inspiring my troops otherwise those Carthies slaughter them. So I'd say AI recruitment seems very good in my current campaign.
BI.exe or normal 1.5?
And if Ai has a City with good Barracks so its build good Troops...but if they conquer a City so only few times Ai has build good Barracks, much ofter they stay at basic level and build mass of Militias.
