Hello everyone,

I have had some difficulties trying to assign objectives to the armies. To provide a little bit of context, since I saw my enemy used a lot of 2 thousand men armies that I did not want to deal with, I assigned 3 armies to defend my territory. Unfortunately, all of them stacked together, which rendered them very ineffective at dealing with the swarm of small armies. I tried other AI objectives, but the results were the same. It was almost as if the AI was trying to direct the troops disregarding any other army and even my own army.

I understand that making an AI that plays at the player's level would be too complicated, but since this AI seems to be inferior to an AI ally or subject AI; I am wondering if I could still do anything to make use of this feature without the AI killing the troops to attrition, as I find it very useful when I am engaged in multiple wars or when you want to focus on growing the economy during times of war.
