The Ottomans go on vacations

[Kuantum]

Having fought in so many wars, the Ottomans decided to go to Ibiza, for a well deserved vacation...

I wonder what the AI is "thinking" at this moment... I'm trying to warn them that the polish are taking their lands

PS: It's Granada and The Ottomans vs Portugal, Aragon, Brittany and Poland

What the AI was thinking? Not much, other than that Ibiza was an unoccupied enemy province and therefore had to be occupied. Thats what I guess. Or did you occupy Ibiza before Otto went there? Than you could file a bug report.

If this is not the case, it still shows that the AI is incompetent, because they seem to not calculate cost vs gain value - I guess that Ibiza did not have a fort? And of course the AI is on the offensive to much again, also a common problem.

"Too bad the enemy doesn't own Tobolsk"?

Ottomans are willing to bring their transports to Ibiza but don't bring their galleys to fight Venice to enter their capital even though the latter is much closer

Ibiza doesn't have a fort, but it was not occupied.

The thing is, in all these wars in the Iberia region I had to face the defender of the catholic faith, which was usually Poland.

The Ottomans bring their forces to Iberia, while their capital is beeing sieged and eventually peace out.

They arrive when there isn't a lot more to do... It doesn't seem like the AI can "look" at the map and evaluate the situation. But protecting the capital should be the number one priority.

AI is highly prioritizing sending transports instead of fighting fleets. They even tend to send only transports without the protection resulting in absurdly easy wars as island nations against mainland powers.

Just as I imagined. The AI strategic evaluation mechanic is broken. I mean, you could try to file a bug report, but after all is it probably an in-depth problem.

The offensive vs defensive discussion is also nothing new. It's known, it's broken, but I can't think of anything, that non-devs could do about it. Maybe I'm wrong, so if anyone knows an AI improvment mod, tell me.
