As an interesting experiment, I set up a battle on Le Village with units including arquebusiers, musketeers, reiters, serpentines, basilisks, cannons, light cavalry, etc etc to see how the AI would handle it. Even though I was stupidly outnumbered, I managed to pull a shock victory out of the hat. Although up until the end I was getting pretty much mullered. But the good news is that the AI showed much promise.
And it was mostly to do with arquebusiers being awful in combat. My cavalry were able to defeat them easily, which was how I managed to win. With the proper units modded in, I would have been routed easily.
So hopeful news!
