Suicidal allied AI units

[Gorton]

I've noticed since 1.8 that allied AI units will tend to suicide, attacking numerically superior, vs generals with worse or no general, into mountains, and across rivers.
Here is an example :




Is anyone else experiencing this?
I would like the enemy ai to suicide but seems restricted to my allies

It's not restricted to your own allies. AI seems to overestimate his power.

My thought is it's because I notice more when my allies are being insanely stupid because it directly affects me...
It's lost me several wars already

It's not just your allies. I've seen the AI act really stupid in wars against me (force marching general-less armies right next to massive armies while holding its general led army 20 provinces back). Posted a bug thread about it.
