Ridiculous AI or what?

[Monsieur Alphonse]

The Apache scout trick wasn't intentional. I wanted them to attack the enemy in the flank. But because the rebels send their entire army after them I was able to exploit that. Of course I want a challenge, but what is the sense of sending 12 units to attack one single unit as the AI did. Why didn't they attack my main army.

As to the barter of settlements. I find it usually impossible to buy settlements from the AI. I my other campaign a rebel chief asked over 200,000 florins for a village. But on turn two to buy the entire Aztec empire is ridiculous.

@ Varro. I just wanted to see if it is possible. I retried it and bought the empire for 15,000 florins for three turns.
