is it just me, or are hussars just plain idiots? they will randomly start seiging wall, when your already inside your enemy's base. if theres a group of halbs and a group of skirms they will almost automatically go for the halbs it seems like. horse artillery are also morons, here lets twist around 4 times until that culverin sees us!

You've got to micro them yourself. All units are equally stupid, though, it seems.

really? becuase hussars seem to be the dumbest. my musketeers never start sieging walls when they are in the enemy base

Ooooh no! Indian elephants are the stupiest units out there!

hussars are dumber the elephants. i think hussars are by far the dumbest

Siege eles are pretty stupid, sometimes they don't attack what I tell them to. But Mahouts are the worst. In addition to the stupid AI, they're so big they get stuck everywhere.

I don't know, what really bugs me is infantry, specifically strelets. Something shoots at them and they start wandering off. :/

units arent dumber than any other unit its the person on the mouse and key board who sucks if his units are not were theyre soposed to be simple.

I think a previous post nailed it. cannon (pulled by horses) are the dumbest. They sit there doing laps in circles until a local calvary division can't stand it any longer and finish them off.

lol yeah i have noticed strelets. they got shot and they start walking off like they're drunk (too much vodka in their motherland). there are honestly times i switch from horse guns to field guns becuase i can't take the twisting. i mean how many times do they have to spin around, its like theyre screaming CULVERIN! SHOOT US!

This is obviously not true. One of the stupidest units in the game, culvs, have one of the worst AI. In addition, they have a few glitches. One that I've noticed is that if the culv is somewhat in range of a target you assign it to, but needs to move a very small amount, and there's some units in the way, it will literally spin around several times doing 360 degree spins. Then just completely forget what it was doing and shoot at a skirms or somesh*t.

cant you read right? i never said that a unit is dumber or smarter than the other, i did say it depends on you how dumb your units turn obviously if i dont watch a culv he will go up to the oponent artilery sit by it and ask if he can shoot. even in modern armies crap like this happens and its not the soldiers fault but the commander's (in game you are commander and if you cant control your units you are an incompetent general)

You said it's the person controlling the unit, not that units are dumb. I called this not true because culvs posses a glitchy AI which isn't fixable on a persons behalf.

Men you're weird.

Stefan is right culvs are pretty retarded, they have a glitch. Sometimes you order them to attack and they just stand there doing nothing for 10 secs, you have to move them forward a little and then shoot because the culv wont move by its self

sabooosa!!!! :D :D :D
