My current campaign prodded me to ask this; I want to know about some of the weirdest things you've seen in a campaign, from AI decisions to things that just should not have happened.

We all know the AI is stupid in RTW, but I'm not talking about stupid. I want to talk about AI decisions that just blow your mind because of what just happened.

Here's mine: I'm playing the Getai, it's 260BC. I keep FOW off because I like to see what's going on. The Romani have taken all of southern Italy and are moving large armies into northern Italy, and both Corsica and Sardinia have been annexed. The Greeks are having their feud; Makedonia is struggling to overtake the Koinon Hellenon who are stubborn as all Hell (they never even lost Athens), and all of the cities in the region are just surrounded by black, charred earth. Epeiros is happily slinking its way along the Thracian coast, not bothering with all the hubbub. So here's the fun part...I go down to Greece to take a peek, hoping the KH is still holding on, and here's the situation...A full Mak stack is besieging Athens; a full KH stack is on its way there, and...a Roman half-stack is besieging Korinthos...I really wanted it to win, and it was going to given Korinthos' garrison and the apparently uncaring Mak armies, but they signed a peace treaty and decided to retry it once the full stack was right next to them.

Coolest damned thing ever. I hope to see more of these military oddities (secretly hoping for an early Germanic invasion of Brittania)...
