Re: Is Ermor still broken for the AI?
 

More then anything else the next patch hopefully will have some improved AI features. It's sad when the AI masses a huge army of low_class units which are starving because there's so many. You can guess the outcome of battles for the AI.
Perhaps the developers can provide a disable/enable starving for AI opponents.
Perhaps the developers can also change the formula being used by the AI on purchasing less low_class units.

No, it should be marked as MP-only. A human player using Ermor in SP is even more of a problem for the AI than an AI-controlled Ermor.

Re: Is Ermor still broken for the AI?
 

Okay, this makes a lot of sense. I've played about 10 more turns since I posted this and I've been consistantly hitting (and getting hit by) Ermorian armies numbering between 150 - 200 units. The AI has been fairly contstant in replenishing these guys but the funny thing is I now have 12 hero priests in my army!

My scouts show a mass of Ermorian troops (close to 500) sitting 2 provinces away and he keeps breaking off pieces to throw at me. Never moving the whole stack at once. Odd...

Re: Is Ermor still broken for the AI?
 

Yes, a HoF full of 50gp priests is very funny. Sadly they don't make much use of many of the heroic abilities - but then again they are at least able to make good use of heroic precision, which most melee heroes aren't ....

Re: Is Ermor still broken for the AI?
 

Mmmh, maybe the next time you could pause at the start of battle and check which ermorian commanders are present. I think the AI might be sending enough commanders that it acutally would be able to send all 500 troops as well. Maybe something is 'broken' with troop grouping / squad assembly but the error does not show up with the limited number of "standard" troops but only with the hughe numbers of free summons - Does the AI assign mulitple squads to one commmander? (seldom I think) - Is there a (unintentionally) fixed max number of troops in a squad?

Re: Is Ermor still broken for the AI?
 

The commander assignments seem okay. The "smaller" armies are anywhere from 3 to 6 mound kings.

The big Groups that come at me are commanded by dusk elder and 2-3 mound kings.

I've put together enough troops now to push them back into their territory. We'll see what happens in the next 6 turns.

Re: Is Ermor still broken for the AI?
 

Max nr depend on the commander's command (leadership) rating.
Unless that is not what you mean?

Re: Is Ermor still broken for the AI?
 

The game's max number of troops per squad, not the max number that can be commanded by a given leader.
