serious AI bugs and tricks

1. C'mon, my opponent (takeda) have two full stacks. half of those armies are bow ashigaru!!! The archer is overpowered in the game so AI keeps spawning 'em and ruin the game play!!!

2. I have a full skilled ninja. I usually use it to get rid of enemy's generals. However, when I eliminated all generals in the stack and start attacking them. Then boommmmm!!!!! there a few generals appear from no where with one or two stars.

I know that AI is very limited but it is the way they will beat me??? C'mon, it all

, this is not AI, this is ACS, artifical cheat

Yeah, AI gets free generals when it has none. I don't mind it too much.

As for the bowmen, I haven't seen it be an issue. Rush them in melee, preferably with cavalry. Sucks if you have nothing other than Yari Ashigaru though.

It's just a problem if you have Ashigaru heavy armies. If you do, you are in a pickle if the enemy has a lot of archers, which is the case in the early game.

Yeah, but it's annoying when you spend a lot of turns to eliminate their generals and figure out that the supply of opponent's general is unlimited.

Thats because there are tons of

ing complaints of geisha murdering to the entire clan during the Shogun 1

Their units too, when armies are out of your LOS on the campaing map they can spawn new units directly into the army. Had a beat up stack of only 4 remaining ashugaru runn out into the fog of war, next turn i chase them and BAM they have an extra half stack of ranked samurai from no where. I had agents all over the place so there was no way that was a reinforcing army and was no where near a coast for naval drop off.

You just said they were out of your LOS.

I think you just pwned him?

I think he ment that he had agents scouting the supply route of the enemy

I was mostly being facetious.

The respawning generals make assassinating pretty pointless. I once sat my three rank 6 ninjas (specced in assassinating) on top of a vassal clan, I killed a daimyo and a son nearly every turn...

Competent AI my a$$! If you can't program it, you can always cheat it!

Not entirely pointless. Assassinating skilled generals (+3 stars) is pretty useful in my book.
