Strange AI bug still in Kingdoms

[Kiki52]

I was playing the Apache and I got my new mounted Thunder Braves.

I fought a Spanish general who only had two pike militia with him, and he was across the bridge.

I moved my thunder braves across the bridge and they sharted shooting and killing many pike militia and some of the generals body guard. After they ran out of ammo, took my mounted thunder braves out then moved mounted apaches into shoot arrows. They just stood there the whole time standing across the bridge getting shot and killed by my thunder braves then mounted apaches, then I finally moved some non-mounted thunder braves and just shot the crap out of almost all the pike militia and general's body guard.

After 90% casualties on the Spanish side they finally decided to cross the bridge and attack me. My thunderbraves quickly took out their general in melee.

That was silly. I totally obliterated the Spanish and they just stood there getting shot by muskets and arrows like dumb men.

But hopefully a modder will help make AIs smater so if they lack ranged units etc, they can make enemies at bridges smarter. If you have two pike militia and a generals body guard, and you can't run away, might as well charge to your death right?

Were you the attacker or was the AI?

If the odds are stacked against the AI the AI tends to just hold a position until the last minute...especially if the AI is defending.

Hmm too bad, all we can really do is avoid bridge battles

I moved my thunder braves across the bridge and they sharted

Whoa, too much info. Ew.

Oh opps sorry about the spoiler

Most likely when you get the Kingdoms game through you'll know what I'm talking about.

I was the attacker though, but the AI still should have done something else other than just stand there getting shot at. If I switched positions, if I were the Spanish and I didn't have the option to retreat I would just charge even if I knew I was going to be destroyed, having no missle units at hand. If I could retreat though, I would retreat and save my men for another day.
