I literally just paused and minimized my game to write this rant

What the heck happened to the AI? 6.1 battle AI was done fairly well, minus a few bugs. Now I am fighting armies that as soon as I go to engage suddenly pull back 50-100 feet, disorganize the entire line (on both sides) then turn around and charge again. There is no strategy here, its all chaos and slaughter. I am very unhappy with the new battle AI.

This is a sad turn of events because for the first time I was actually challenged in the new campaign AI. I was only into turn 50 as Kwarezmian when suddenly I was attacked by like 20 stacks of Fatimids. I almost quit the game when I saw that, outraged that they could produce so many stacks in so little time with so little money, but then I decided to give it a try and what an epic struggle. Too bad it was severely marred by this new battle AI. I mean seriously, did armies fight like this in real life? Did Generals tell their soldiers "hey boys as soon as the lines clash, turn around and run" and with the synchronization of a flock of geese no less. Meh. Sorry for the rant, I have not posted in a long time here but I felt moved enough to do so because of this. Anyone else experience this?

i can not say that i have, no. im plyaing RC/RR 6.2 compilation. So. I konw that the muslin faction are meant to produce alot of stacks. To represent their numbers, and increase the dificulty on the human player. Its anice feature it turn out epic batles against the muslims.

Do you have the latest battle AI from Germanicu5? Perhaps try XBAI. Also, the money issue is being ironed out.

No... you may have a style which cues a formation bug. In my experience, the AI only breaks if there's a unit to the flank or behind.

Ah this may be the reason then but why has this changed since 6.1? Either way, campaign is a lot of fun I am having a blast, and maybe i'm sorta a masochist because i'm enjoying the massacres, its making it that much harder..
