I SWEAR TO GOD. I WILL KILL THE AI IN RTW. I SWEAR IT!!!!!!!!!!

So, I play as the Greek City-States. Completely SLAUGHTER two Scipii invasions of Saracuse. Killing 2,500 some odd men, and only losing 50. God bless Phalanx's at city gates.

I start building a hardcore Army of 6 or so Armored Hoplites, Valour 2, with weapon and shield bonuses to counterattack Manassa, and take it from the Scipii. Normally, I'd just build up a Navy and attack the Scipii mainland in Italy. Unfortunately Skipii had found it smart to complain to Brutii that the Greek's were whooping their pathetic Armies, and the Brutii Navy came down and blockaded about every port from Corinth to Saracuse.

My move half of my Elite Army and a few skirmishers out of the city, to make room for my City-Defender's, so I can build the rest of my Elite Army. Unfortunately, something bad happens. Scipii invades again, prematurely.

Uh oh.

I accidently forget to de-select the "Allow AI to Control This Army" button. BIIIG mistake. I get in to battle.

I have three units.

The AI has the rest of my Army.

At the end of the day my faction leader, a 9-Star General under the command of the AI is dead. AND SO IS HIS ENTIRE ****ING ARMY. AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHY ARE AI ALLIES SO STUPID!?

And WHY do they have to screw up, and charge four Equites with one unit of General Bodyguards!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Though, lucky for me the Macedonians are cowards. Thessalias or whatever's soon to be mine in three turns. Muwahahahahaha!

Save before every battle

hmmm... AI stupid yes..letting AI look after army...stupid tooo..lol

[[GG]Lord von Döbeln]

Mmmm what Bux and Salis said!

I ALWAYS save before a battle (have had a few CTD's in battle so..) and I NEVER let the AI control anything of mine since it will still - after 3 patches - charge the general WAAAAY ahead of the other units into phalanxes or whatever is there. How hard can it be to program the general unit to stand back!?!?!?!?! I Love RTW, but sometimes CA seems to be morons...

They don't seem to be: THE ARE.

Well, the General Bodyguard units ARE very tough Cavalry, and always worthwhile to throw in to a fight, though, it seems that sometimes the AI is a little too "Over-handed" in using them, and winds up having them killed 9 times out of 10.

Though, I can't say I dislike it, really. Always love it when the enemy General throws down his life for me.
