More cavalry help

Why does the enemy ai cavalry get to be way smarter than mine. It's quite annoying seeing my faction leader charge straight into spear point while the enemy's missile cavalry lead a unit around the map slaughtering them.

Are you letting your units be AI controlled?

Otherwise those are rubbish tactics you're using.

Yeah, I guess i forgot to mention that. It just seems to be that the enemy ai is quite a bit better than ally ai. Cavalry just being the glaring example with a general running himself into cavalry.

Heh, it's actually a nice feature - drag your allies to war and watch them dying, weakening both of your allies and your enemies

It could be reinforcements, not just allies.

I've actually noticed that the enemy AI for cavalry seems to be worse than my reinforcements. The enemy generals just love charging into spearmen.

How often is it that we see our allies help us fight against our enemies? How often do we have the privilege of doing that?

I don't see it very often, but maybe if you send out expeditionary forces to help them more then you will.

As for the general AI, that's a real problem. I'm going to try a new solution in the next version based on some work by Darth, though.

Right. I understand. NEVER let the AI control your forces. NEVER!
The AI is rubbish. That is why you can win battles, outnumbered 3 or even 5 to one if you get good ground with good troops.
