BATTLE AI Broken

**KILLSHOT187** · December 20, 2012, 01:34 PM

im having an issue with my battle AI. my troops do not charge OR chase enemy units correctly anymore. and when they are engaged in battle they spread out. and not group up. i dont know what i did. but i deleted EVERYTHING out of the hidden folder. got rid of all my mods and uninstalled everything and reinstalled and still same problem. they still fan out. is this a known issue? any help would be greatly appriciated.

It could be and could be why some have gone to the trouble try to fix some of these ai anomolies.

i remember it working though. now they just back up and spread out in an odd looking manner.

I don't fight enough battles to notice. This would be more for someone that does.

I just watched some youtube battles and the armies they have crash into each other where the majority of the unit is in combat. mine has about 10 that charge up wile the main group kinda just sits there or backs up. and if a soldier dies, one or 2 will run up. its just not right and i dont know how to fix it.

Are you watching ones from mods? Stainless Steel has an excellent battle ai. I would assume Third Age does, too, as both were started by King Kong.
I would not be surprised if Lands to Conquer has a good one.
And the list goes on. The newer mods like Westoros, Rule Britannia, amongst others possibly benefit from these pioneers.

No, they were Vanilla games. although i did have TATW as well as SS installed before. both games also had this problem.

I'd say time to uninstall the game starting with the Kingdoms campaigns, delete both Medieval2 folders, run a good free registry cleaner, reboot, and do a fresh clean install.
From your description, it's still using something not in vanilla and possibly a leftover renmant.
