faulty reinforcement AI in siege

[smoesville]

The ai has an irritating tendency of bringing in reinforcement armies who stand adjacent on the strat map who don't have siege weapons and they just stand there and since there is no time limit i have to go out and fight them which is ridiculous!

Its happened 5-6 times and i destroyed the all the siege equipment so they cannot get in but they won't leave... they would overwhelm me if they all attacked but they don't. only the first time did destroying the siege stuff end the battle I don't mind losing but losing in such a retarded way irritates me. Also some of the reinforcements don't enter the city even when they hold the gate

Is there a way to give all armies siege weapons at the start of a battle? Like they did in RTW:XGM? It would make life harder but i like a challenge. And i am aware that it might not be possible since XGM was for Rome but could someone look into it? I have no scripting to speak of.

Edit:
In field battles the reinforcement ai spread out all across the map in ones and twos... which was weird.

Edit:
Also the stop/start orders the ai gives to units without ever moving they just keep shouting move and such. this loop slows the game to about 3-10 fps but stops immediately when they change orders.

Yep, the ai sucks. But there are solutions. Join the effort to encourage the XAI team to make a compatable patch with this mod. It fixes all of those issues almost entirely. Scripts should be a last resort, not a first.

Where can i do this? And i think the update will fix many of the problems since there weren't as many problems in SS 6.1 and such so its probably growing pains.
