BAHA! First post! ... anyway
MURDERUS RAGERUS ARCHERURS
Xeryx! I just downloaded PDER from your filefront page along with its 1.0A patch and your XAI 3.4 PDER pack. I am using a clean install of both Medieval 2 and expansion as well as the disable cache command so i am pretty confident everything is working right. I am using VISTA 32bit however.

- XAI Archers are now serious men of manly action, once they lock on to a target they will not stop.
Basically my archers were safely tucked away behind my spearmen, happily causing terror to the opposition archers when suddenly crafty XAI Cavalry snuck around my alert spearmen (who watched very alertly) and ruined the party. At this point my brave archers bravely ran away and the XAI Cavalry, now satisfied, turned it's collective attention to my now slightly concerned general. However! The XAI archers were not satisfied (in fact they were furious!) they charged straight in the direction of my brave fleeing archers and did not seem to understand that the spearmen posed a sort of nasty-man-with-stick-stabbing obstacle.
- To put it less wordfully - archers once engaged with a target will not switch to a different target and will relentlessly chase the target and walk into my spearmen who employ nasty-man-with-stick-stabbing tactics.
Anyway i just thought i would post because im not sure if others have experienced or noticed this sorry if im posting old news. Oh and i have played a few custom battles with the same result but have yet to try campaign.
However what crafty cavalry! I have seen some AI flank before but this was done very well and more precicely, also only one cavalry unit undertook Ruin Archer Day mission, the other cavalry unit engaged my alert spearmen so the AI used all its units for different purposes.
Anyway a very manly salute for putting precious effort into improving a game i spend many silly hours on.
