Okay I decided to make this topic, since the AI is very weak.

As I see, the biggest problems are, that the AI:

1.) isnt recruiting enough units.
2.) is trying to operate with small 'blitz' armies, I never ever seen a bigger AI army in the demo so far.
3.) isnt protecting its provinces very well
4.} isnt making smart strategical moves


Tell me what you think. I think these are the major problems with the Doms 2. AI.

1) The AI is recruiting as many units it can afford. At higher levels this is more than a human opponent.

2) The AI will build up large armies, but this is more often seen in the end game as it mostly uses them to besiege enemies. Earlier it uses several armies to quickly conquer land. If you can anticipate the movements of smaller armies you can of course beat them one by one, but unless they are all caught they will probably devastate your economy.

3) Do you mean that the AI should place armies in border provinces in case of backstabbing attacks. This would be costly and as long as there is peace the armies are probably better used in other wars. Perhaps some kind of patrolling units in richer provinces should do the trick.

4) What is a smart strategical move?
