    Default Rome 1st Battle

    I just fought Pyrrhus and he ran head first into my infantry before any of his men where even close to me? he died obviously stright away. Is this a bug or is this meant to happen? I also went to the province of tarentum to finish off the rest of his army where his forces in Tarentum city faced me with the remains of Pyrrhus's army. I retreated for the Tarrentum forces to follow me and attack me. There General done the exact same thing as Pyrrhus? and ran head first into my infantry? is this meant to happen? im playing on m/m

    First time playing as Rome as there not a faction im to fond of and to prefer to take the greek route

    It's just the sheer tactical awesomeness of the unmoddable RTW AI.
    just pretend you are playing against a retarded monkey. It works for me

    Yeah, in the Rome TW AI, generals like charging in front of their army. I just pretend that he wants all the glory for himself and is an idiot.

    Just send your own general out to challenge him in a 1v1.

    "More balloons! No, that's too many balloons. More candy! No, less candy. Ooh! I know! Streamers!"

    The AI is unbelievably dumb. I wish there was something that could be done about it, but I've heared of nothing.

    I'm fine with it as it is, I still get surprised sometimes as you get complacent fighting the AI on occasion. If I want to have a proper challenge I'll play multiplayer on my console. RTW is a challenge of economy and grand strategy for me, and in the battles it's about keeping as many men alive as I can and still winning.

    If the AI was even close to being as good as a human player we'd never get out of the starting blocks and take X amount of settlements would take on a whole new meaning

    Well there is a mod that improves dramatically the AI formations but still no big gameplay difference.

    We already use Darth Formations, unfortunately they are often not enough to smarten up AI.
