    This is done so u cant massacre them with ur archers while they stay there "holding the line".Dont know for sure about 6.2 but in 6.4 almost always the ai charges at u.(with any faction).

    I've seen the AI hold back and force my own attack in 6.4. I think it may have something to do with the numbers of each army, or perhaps even the composition. For instance, in auto-resolve your units are tallied up against their units being tallied up. I think however they rate each unit in auto-resolve is also how the AI determines your army strength (along with taking into consideration the size of your army in comparison to theirs), and then decides whether to attack or defend. That, or its just completely random.

    I believe the enemy attacks if you have superior firepower - as it thinks it's better to attack than to be shot to pieces.


    However, frontal arrow fire is not very damaging, and there's advantage in defense as well, especially in a good position. So the AI's decision is not always completely sound.

    The game development business is one of bottomless greed, pitiless cruelty, venal treachery, rampant competition, low politics and boundless personal ambition. New game series are rising, and others are starting their long slide into obscurity and defeat.

    Yea that was always my belief that if the a.i. has more archers they will hold if you have more they will attack

    It'll be changed in ReallyBadAI 5.0, which should've been out by now, but I'm making a total script overhaul to make it more reliable and I'm busy irl.

    AI will always wait until player approaches if attacked, it'll use manually programmed AI to calculate if and when it should attack.

    Regards
    I have no memory of this place.

    You'll notice that the AI is a little dumber than a human opponent eventually, but it certainly is a vast improvement over Vanilla.

    If you find H/H hard then I will pray for your soul if you enable BGR.
