after going back to rome, i see how bad M2 AI is

[Slaists]

Here is another example, I just fought. And tell me it's not idiotic AI. AI Enemy (defender): 4 archer units + a turcoman unit. Me - One general, one turkoman and an archer unit. As I enter the battlefield, the enemy has a perfectly nice position on the top of a high hill. To get to them - I have to march uphill.

All they'd have to do, stay where they are and pepper me until I reach them on the hilltop. By that time I would have hardly any troops left. No... instead of staying where they are, the enemy archers start to manouver and get charged by my general before even making a single shot... The AI turkoman decided that the best missile target for it was my foot archer unit. No comment there...

maybe its all in our heads which is better, i guess i dont know

i am playing rtr...so no peasants or crap units to fight..maybe that and the darth formations mod is making it appear to be harder, but i am just speculating...cuz on my celts campaign on vannila BI i was fighting much harder battles than m2 ever offered me

also about ai defending walls, it seems the same as rome..they just as often retreat to center or they give a half hearted attempt to defend the wall then flee

either way, they better get moving on this AI instead of updating the graphics on the same retarded soldiers

you can put a silk hat on a pig, but its still a pig

IMO, Vanilla M2TW is marginally better overall than vanilla RTW.

But then again, my opinion of vanilla RTW is extremely low, so that is in no way a compliment to M2...
