AI Sieges

[Alter Ego]

Ok this has bugged me for a while and it bugged me in vanilla too, when the AI sieges one of my cities, i usually select my troops in my city and attack them, but when the siege starts, the AI doesn't attack me. They have the needed siege equipment, but as soon as the siege starts and i set up my troops, the AI just drops thier equipment and sets up a formation outside my walls and doesnt attack. Am i doing something wrong? i have never been able to defend against an AI siege in the campaign mode because they never attacked, so the battle ends up being out in the field. And if i just wait to see if they attack, they will not move at all ever unless i attack them first. any help on the issue?

Unfortunately modding the AI's behaviour is difficult. I think the AI decides whether it can beat you in a battle on the strat map using one set of calculations but on the battle field it suddenly notices that you have a settlement and decides that the best strategy is to wait for you to come out of your settlement. Thus it attacks you but does nothing, even though once the time runs out it will automatically lose.

Other than waiting for the time to run down and hope the AI makes a last ditch effort to beat you there's not a lot I can suggest.

Thanks for the reply to this question and my other one btw this is an amazing mod i absolutely love it, is there a way to prevent the plague from ever appearing in any city by editing the files to remove this feature completely? specifically in the empires campaign and also are there going to be any more updates in the future?

I think there was a way in the Kingdoms Americas campaign to prevent factions getting the plague but I don't know what it is.

I plan to make some some changes to the Scandinavian factions but I don't plan to make any new campaigns by myself.
