About AI battle formations ...

[dimitrios the samian]

Hi I-K ... YOU ASKED >> Why does the AI allmost allways line all of there troops in to single line and then start running towards you??
Because its Rome Total War where the AI got really stupid ..
For a challenge try MTW or Shogun . the AI thinks almost realistic !

[mrdun]

No point going backwards

[mrdun]

The all out charge is a replica of what barbarians would have done and their numerical advantage will help them. If you counter charge them with Romans then you will get out numbered and lose but Romans cant be beaten if you keep the shape. {from some thread somewhere}

Mrdun- I once referred you to the Darth Mod. It appears you still have not tried it.... unless you just LIKE to pick on the poor AI?

He's made some very good improvements and the formations are historical, too.
What've you got to lose? Other than the battles, I mean?

[mrdun]

Ha, yeah i'm not the best on the battlefield.

I use the XGM mod. Is it possible to have them both?

XGM offers it's players the option to install an edited version of Darth Formations as part of the installation process.

Of course Lysander yes. I have this on and get whoopassed every battle...how could I forget??
