Fewer and fewer still hope left that I will ever be able to enjoy EU4. Something happened from 1.4 patch when AI armies starts broke up. For example in peace time they not merging 1k armies to main army. Or at war main army just siting and do nothing while enemy main army somehow moving, fighting, siege and vice versa.

I reported this bugs dozens of dozens times. Finally on 1.7 patch this bug acknowledged as important and tried to fix on 1.8. So now on 1.8 slightly improved fixes, but still situation is horrible. I really don't know are paradox blind and do not see this problem or see that, but do not care (if I good remember somewhere Wiz said that they do not fix these bugs himselfs before it reported (what really angers me as a customer)). Ok then, from now I can do everything to fixed frozen armies one and for all time god dammit. I will update this thread with usefull things like save games, videos, pictures if it helps.

NOTICE: sometimes AI armies can move like normaly and merge 1k or other stacks to main armies after loading save game from newly. But please do not suggest like "bla bla bla reload your game and everything will work fine" HELL NO, I will not going reload my game every 1-2 year, this is so annoying.

Austria do not merging 1k's stack to one main stack and do not fight with rebel in province Krain about few years until reload game. (Now after loading save again Austria stars merge all troops and fight to rebel)
Again Austria do not merging 1k's stack to one main stack and do not fight with rebel in province Krain about few years until reload game (Now after loading save again Austria stars merge all troops and fight to rebel)
Lithuania not merge troops until reload

More save games and videos with "aiview" come soon. Please share your own experience or post your own pictures/videos with this bug. (1.8.1 + art of war)

More than half year fixing it, but on every new patch almost same situation. 1.8 looks very promising to me, but same thing. As history shows this patch only be after 3-4 months only when new dlc announced

It's not a bug, it's a new French NI, 'so scared they can't move!'.

On a serious note, this is quite annoying and (more) frequent on 1.8, this and a couple other bugs still warrant a hotfix IMO but seems that's not going to happen, hope the patch comes quickly in that case.

The later is the date, the more often it happens - I saw 2/3 of Mexico occupied by Guatemala in Extended timeline mod (started in 2014), because 3k army could avoid 35k stack in capital and take everything else.

Agree, but I may correct you - more armies on world more AI frozen armies apears. In this case Extended timeline mod in 2014 is almost unplayable
