never seen the ai do this

[ARCHIPPOS]

In my AS campaign, the AI reinforcements for for my enemy decided to do the redline noob tactic. Ive never seen the AI do anything like it. Have to say that i was impressed.

and how is this "noob tactic" ??? i pull this trick many times if i'm grossly outnumbered thus extremely susceptible to getting flanked. I know it's kind of "cheating" but i use any edge i can find on the battlefield...

Edit: obviously with a highly mobile , light , skirmisher army against pike phallanxes (like the one pictured) getting cornered is NOT the thing to do. However i can assure you that using the battlefield corners' to defend with pike phallanxes is HIGHLY effective...
