Question

[SirWarts]

This problem isn't really a bug but it seams every battle even when im attacking the enemy moves forward and attacks even when they are out numbered. I have the latest B.B downloaded to DLV 6.2. Any ideas??

What problem is it causing for you?

Or what behaviour would you like to see instead?

[SirWarts]

Well im not pro at this stuff but I would think that when Im attacking and especially when the enemy is significantly outnumbered they should just kinda camp out most of the time and wait. Wouldn't that make more sense? I'm not being sarcastic just honestly asking this is my favorite mod and everything. That's just something I noticed.May not even be a "BUG" maybe it was done on purpose.

Of course it would be boring if the enemy camped every time but I was just thinking when the situation called for it maybe they should.

Well, either way they would lose so why not charge, think off it this way, if you were to fight and you knew you were going to get killed even if you fled, would you rather attack with the last drop of pride and honour you have left or would you cower in shame and wait to die a slow and painful death...?

[Alatar98]

thats what i always figured, whip them up into a frenzy and charge them

[SirWarts]

BeingOwnedSPQR I see your point, but usually when you wait for the enemy to come to you and are on the defensive you stand more of a chance of surviving or fighting a better battle. Like King Henry the V in Agincourt.If the English would have charged they probably would have lost.Because they were out number along with lots of other problems with King Henry's army.

Again I dont claim to be a genius about this stuff just wondering if it is a problem to be dealt with or not.

I really don’t think it’s a problem; Ai simply relies on aggressive behavior to catch you off guard, and if you don’t respond quickly, do some damage. From historical/tactical point of view, inferior army should assume strong defensive position, try to even the odds by using terrain to cover flanks, shorten the front, or set an ambush. Ai probably can’t be made to do that, so he will perform better if he makes a suicidal banzai charge.
I personally favor attack, but when seriously overpowered I do turn to defense and tend to exploit terrain, like King Henry.

[SirWarts]

Prince Valiant/ Thanks for the response makes sense now that you say that. The AI probably isn't really good at using terrain.
