    Default Is there a solution to my problem:

    Is there a mod that improves the AI when they attack a city?

    A lot of mods promise better AI, but this is something very specific that I want. I could careless how much better the AI is on the open field, but I want the AI to be able to do more than just stand outside my gates after I destroy their rams even though they have a perfectly good ladder to their disposal. It's so frustrating have to either A) attack the enemy because they are just sitting there or B) quit the battle because there is no way to win if you attack.

    Case in point: The timiruds send 4 armies to take Antioch. My cannon towers destroy all of their siege equipment + 2 rocket launchers they brought in another army. They just sat there. The elephant artillery did nothing. How it is possible to destroy 4 timirud armies with 1 Byzantine army that was meant to defend a city is beyond me and quite frankly impossible considering the ammount of archers they have.

    I would go easy on them and allow them to take the wall or at least get the ram to the gate and then have my forces defend, but with the way I set up my armies that would put me at a great disadvantage(trying to set up a good defense within 10-20 seconds). And besides..would they do the same for me?

    yeah you know it drives me absoluely bonkers when i get attacked by two seperate armies, m defenders strong enough to stop one army cold at the gates, but the second army just stands dead still in the distance, and while i could stop them at the gate like the first one, i am not strong enogh to sally out and route them. thus, a defense that i by all righs should win, i HAVE to lose (because i dont use battle timer...) because as long as they stay there and as long as my defenders are the size they are, i can't do ANYTHING.

    I cant even lure them in to attacking, i start losing so many units trying to get them to come to the gate in range of my arrows and ballista towers, and they only send a few units anyway, and their siege equipment just stands still too. they dont try to use it. they let the other army try and fail now they just camp out!!! It's maddening!

    Well Bond, I can say I feel your pain here, but then I'm hardly on the receiving end of a siege. I take the fight to the field whenever possible.

    If you could, though, please refer to the Mod Recommendations thread for mod requests. And I'll have to close this as well.

    This is why I don't have unlimited time battles.

    Yeah..that does suck... this is why I always keep large armies in the field within a few turns of all my major cities....
