Ai reinforcements frozen

**Byg** · September 28, 2006, 09:38 AM

I play with ai reinforcements allowed at the same time as their main army. This gives the ai a fighting chance - 8000 men v 4000 of mine. On VH they should win, which is what I want.

Problem is the ai 2nd army often freezes on the battlefield, meaning that even if I'm defending I have to wander round the battlefield slaughtering each unit one by one. Great for me but not for the ai.

Does anyone know why this happens or how to fix it?

Frozen with fear?

Possibly, possibly, in future I have instructed my armies to smile more so as not to discourage the enemy.

I have this problem too. Any ideas how to rectify it, anybody?

i have known this to be a bug in Sinuhets formations as a cure i change to darth mod or try a different sinehuts formation , rs2 has a few in the important stuff folder inside data or you can search for and download generic formations and try them , good luck

Hey, thanks for the reply, man, and the advice. Do you think I could overwrite the formations file and not lose my saved games?

yes no problem , i mess about with formations all the time and dont have any campaign issues so happy experimenting , i would start with the generic ones that way you will not have to change any names within the formation txt

This shouldnt have anything to do with AI formations it is just by chance that you didn't have a problem after installing new formations. AI is calculated by hardcode more than what can change.

yes its interesting , it may well be a hardcode but much more people seem to report it using sinehuts over the years, i have had it my self but never with darth formations or any other always sinehuts , i had a look back and there are a number of reports of this bug/error/ai madness , sinehut himselfs seems unsure whats causing it in one post i read

is probably based off other conditions also. Example strength of unit, Attack/Defense etc. It may be more noticeable in his formations but doubtful his are the sole cause.
