FOTS AI not attacking star forts, battery towers?

[Totweath]

Hey all, I'm playing a FOTS Tsu campaign very hard, I went through the trouble of building 3 star forts and battery towers, in key locations. The regions are Kii, with a province wealth of 16,000, Omi 13,000, and my military province Owari 8,000.

Also I did this because I went republic, everyone declared on me, armies wont attack me though. Satsuma has 7 stacks around Kyoto but won't attack my army in the city. Jozai won't attack South Shinano, a castle with gun batteries but have 4 full stacks just roaming around.

I already won a campaign as Tsu as an Imperial, but always before I really got to modern techs, so in this campaign I have everything top of the line, but it seems disappointing I can't even use the stuff.

I have the british ironclad, I make all iron ships, fleets either run away or its just no competition, on the land front I wanted to see what the towers were like, since they cost 12000, and it's annoying to go thru all that research and not even get to use it in battle.

Has anyonelse got everything fully upgraded and had similar results?

Blame the CA AI........ go with a mod like Darthmod or Radious to get the most out the BAI and CAI

yes ive noticed this in a recent co-op campaign with a friend. The AI often wont attack settlements with towers and upgraded forts. in my example the AI always walked past an upgraded setlement, even though it was the biggest and richest, just because there were towers.

If you wanna get rid of these stacks, here are two tips: sabotaged armies cant reinforce, and armies also cant reinforce in night battles (unless their generl has this trait). this way you can pick them off one by one.

So... mission accomplished?
I can see you'd like to see your shiny new fort in action, but sounds like from a strategic standpoint, they do exactly what they are supposed to

Thanks, ya I kinda wanted to see a huge battle but...... anyways, I'm not sure what it is with FOTS, compared to Shogun 2, it is easier to have a good economy, when realm divide hit in shogun 2 all my trade stopped i had to scrape by, but even as a republic(granted the lands near Tsu are big money makers) I'm making 12k per turn with no Japanese trade.
