AI Watch Towers

[Mikhail Mengsk]

weeeeell i have no complains abt that...from what i've seen the AI tends to build watchtowers on hills, pockets of land that go deep into your territory etc... one thing i have thought is it would be nice to be able to scrap those watchtowers for some money once you've conquered a region ... get some mnai instead of a tower in a place where you don't actually need one

Agree

Agree

Not to mention, when AI places them in crucial chokepoints where you would usually builds forts...

Yeah I hate that, although it's nice sometimes when you can see the watchtower on the battlemap

I've never seen the AI build a fort myself, with rtw.exe or alx.exe. do they ever make them?

I wonder if this is linked with the changing of fort costs to 0 Mnai. I can't remember if they were ever built in vanilla, so it could be to do with something weird in the AI.

I once recalled the AI build a fort in Vanilla, well the Gauls did anyway.

all the nations built forts in my campaign BUT only when they are at peace with all neighbors and have no natiosn to fight and their armies gather torwards the player...

in my campaign, carthage, aedui, seleukid (bastards put one right by byzantum... with a a fullstack and another fullstack at nikaia)
sometimes.. AI acts smart...
