Siege Units

[dfeal]

Lusted, why does the AI field so many siege units in its armies? Each full stack that I fight (French mainly) has 6 to 8 siege units. I was not aware that in the 10th and 11th centuries artillery played such a major role. Am I wrong to think this?

This isn't a great problem as I simply rush the AI and slaughter these units. But the AI is missing 6 to 8 normal units because of its love of siege units. I think it weakens the AI's fighting ability. The AI would do better to simply field 6 to 8 extra spearmen IMO.

It mainly because of Unit costs I think. When the AI is recruiting troops...It tend to recruit cheap troops (Dunno if this is true...Just something I have noticed so far... ). And Siege units were dirt cheap in Vanilla...

I thought though, that this had been fixed by upping the price of the siege buildings a -lot- and the recruitment costs of siege units as well... :hmmm:

Not correct int this case, I'm afraid. I've check the costs and siege units are some of the most expensive available.

Siege units are already someof the most expensive aroumnd, but the ai will still field a few in its armies, it will field more units later on, but early on it seems to like them.
