Stupid AI behaviour

[Thrake]

Well, naval AI can't be compared to what it used to be. Now it has transports, and it lands men. It's dumb at times though; in my last game, Sweden was occupying 2 provinces of a 3PM Danemark; last provinces was a 1 BT island in which there were 5k men. Sweden had 4 cogues. I was a bit mean with AI, so I was funding the danes (1 monthly ducat) to make sure they could afford their army. For more than 15 years, the Swedes sent countless waves of 4k men (they had around 30k standing army...), that got beaten again and again. They were sitting on 75% WS, but not willing to peace out. In the end, they asked for war concessions and no province.

I have seen similar. Byzantium had rebels sieging their province Corfu but only very few transport ships. So they send endless small stacks into death. They even moved their transport ships before the battle was over, so the armies had nowhere to retreat and got whiped.

Same was happening when i was playing as Naxos, i was allied with Austria, and they called me in against numerous of HRE (like Holstein) members and Norway..

Instead of fighting back Austria with other HRE member, Norway and Holstein decided it will be best to invade Naxos island, both landed in it, started sieging it (AI would rarely do that against other AI, does that every time against Human). A bit later second wave of both those guys were coming when Austria was already very close to Holstein mainland..

That was meant to improve morale, silly. "Byzantine spartans... today, we dine in HELL!"
