Easy way to defeat large armies with islands

[TalorianEmporer]

I used this way to defeat the Teutonic order so that I could annex Gotland. Is very useful

Ye thats called "AI exploit".

But at the same time, its a tactic that allows you to survive with certain minor countries.

Regularly used by Byz-o-philes to defeat Ottomans as ai is retarded and doesn't have the remotest concept of fighting defensively.

I realise it is an ai exploit but I would say it is a minor one since it does make a fair bit if sense.

Using a blockade to limit the mobility of an enemy army makes sense, yes. The ai mindlessly moving every single regiment into a position that can be blockaded by an enemy when at war with a nation whose navy is bigger than theirs makes it something more than "minor".

 

[Noctus]

Blockading and starving an amry is a god tactic.

The AI moving all its regiments onto an blockadable island while knowing its own Navy is not up to the enemys and then getting easily eaten is an easily exploited AI shortcoming.
