AI running towards me but never "charging" !

**romy** · July 03, 2012, 10:58 AM

Hey guys,

I play this mod since its first version and I always loved it, considering as the best one for RTW (even the best of all the mods I played for other CA games !).

I've a problem though concerning the AI behaviour during battles : the AI - when attacking - runs towards me but never charges ! I changed the difficulty levels and the problem persists. How can I solve it ?

I've 2 more questions :
* How can I "disable" the ability of the AI to use the DEFENSIVE behaviour of its units (I mean, you know the shield in the UI when you select an unit) ? I ask you this because that isn't nice to see only a part of the AI regiment to take part of the unit. When engaged, the battle line looks like this : |/ and not like how I would like to see it : ||.

* Is it possible to change the battlemap difficulty during a campaign ?

Thanks for reading it !

Have a good day :-))

go to data/important stuff look for ai formation files /change them see what results you get /in the end the ai is crap in rtw engines and is the major let down im afraid

I don't if that's possible, not easily at least.
There's a MED II program that allows to do it, but I don't know if the saves are coded the same way in Rome.

Yes, AI is stupid - that's sad, but I gues it's CA fault for bad programming... What I dislike besides not charching, but instead of it just walking into my lines (not always) is that sometimes in big battles AI puts half of it's army into fight while the rest troops puts on withdraw option (just easier for me to smash half of them in unequally fight while the rest of them is fleeing). Sometimes it's diappointing because instead of big battles 2 vs 2 or 3 vs 3 full stacks you don't see a big fight.

You can have 5 battles in a row where the AI will run and not charge at you then on the 6th battle you will have an AI that will run then charge you....

And CA programmers are not bad its just name one game where the AI is capable of beating a human without cheating...
