That's interesting , I wonder also if I should convert a few more towns to castles and give them to the ai so that they may build more castle troops than town militia types.

One problem of not being able to convert stone-walled towns to castles is that when the ai gets beaten down , it is often left with only towns and hence cannot build castle troops. I think the option to destroy a town and build a castle should be present regardless of city wall type, that may help the ai...??
