Has "sleeping AI" been fixed yet?

[delpiero1234]

I don't think so. 5k catholic Zealots (loyal to me) occupied Burgos. Spain has 26k sitting next to the occupied province but doesn't bother attacking the rebels.
It's no fun when the AI plays retarded like this.

I can upload a screenshot..

Curiously, why does Spain, who's Catholic have Catholic zealots?

I don't but. Probably due to event. Take a look at this thread for Catholic Zealots occupying the Catholic Papal States.

However, in this thread I would like to discuss why the Spanish troops don't attack the rebels.

Odd, in my games I tend to see the exact opposite. In a recent conquest of Burgundy a rebel stack spawned in Vlaanderen, one that would defect to Netherlands. Great! Weaken Burgundy even more, after I peace out, and Burgundy is without any army, this 15 stack rebel group will knock another province or two off them. Nope, my ally Austria broke off a siege (though one that was only at -45%) in nearby Hainaut to go attack the rebels. It's precisely the kind of scenario where I would ignore a rebel stack. One of my favorite things is to completely destroy a countries army, and once a few rebel stacks spawn, take the peace and let rebels continue the destruction of a country while Burgundy/ Sweden/ etc. has no forces to deal with the issue.

Obviously the AI isn't always asleep. It's an intermittent bug.

I've seen this quite a bit too. I've seen 30k stacks stand around and let more than one province get occupied by rebels.

 

[Thrake]

I never experienced until 1.5. Now however, I regularly see it. It seems to happen mostly after a siege to me. Sometimes, AI keeps moving, sometimes, it just sits for years, or wakes up after a reload. Wake up you lazy AI!

 

[caintheconfused]

It's clearly by strategy. They're trying to set-up accepting the rebels demands, definitely.

 

[Hootieleece]

AI often see other people's rebels as a bigger threat than nations they are fighting. Which is almost as bad as asleep at the wheel AI.

Haha
If the rebel enforce their demands then the province defects to me. The province has been occupied for more than 4 years now. The AI tried to defeat the rebels by sending a small stack there that got defeated by the rebels. So far it decided not to move it's 26k stack there..

What's going on here, Wiz?

Is it low on Manpower? Check the ledger.

I have Never seen such behaviour. Instead, I've seen the AI send stacks in their allies country to destroy rebels. Sometimes as far as 10 provinces away....

Many times a Byzantium I had Orthodox zealots and I don't understand why as well. Funny thing is sometimes they cross the border and go to convert the provinces of other nations.

Allies I have seen come to destroy rebels in my country only in previous patches. My vassals though do it from time to time.

 

[Viperswhip]

In my games the AI waits for the rebels to finish a siege before they do anything about it, maybe 70% of the time, based on what I can see in the countries I can see.

Just yesterday, Bohemia came and destroyed a rebell Stack in Friesland, of all things!

In a war against Friesland and Cleves yesterday as Gelre, a 6 stack spawned in Gelre while my 5 stack and 15k Denmarkians (? lol) finished the siege on Cleve. So, on their way back home they wiped out the rebel stack, but I don't know if they would have gone out of their way to do it for me. In previous patches I took so much pity on England that even as Castille I normally tried to land troops there to save them.

The AI is not low on manpower and even if it was low on manpower it could easily send it's 26k stack to attack the 5k rebels.

Let's take a look at some screenshots:

In 1658 I first noticed Burgos being occupied.

2 years later

AI sent a small stack to attack the rebels but utterly failed. Why did it not send it's 26k stack?

4 years later and Burgos is still occupied by Zealots Rebels

Weird. This looks like some kind of bug to me.

This bug has been in the game probably since vanilla. I hoped that Paraodx would fix it. Oh well it looks like I am getting a free provinces from Spain once the rebels enface their demands..
