ROFL. that is the reason why i am looking forward to ETW - since AI is pretty much treating one army as one entity - stand and shoot, stand and be shot-at and stand-and-stand. at least in ETW, there might actually be a serious artillery/missile duel instead of lopsided-deaths.
i have given the all the AI units lots of money (king's purse 10000k+!), and i was forced to use some artillery (despite my skeptic of its slow marching speed) because i am sick of being forced to bum rush every man, horses and chickens just to avoid the flaming balls of sudden death.
