Default Re: is the AI cheating

Another tactic against a large army is to send a commander in with something that does a poison cloud, such as the Bladder. Protection vs arrows, or having a flyer commander will help. Send along a well defended commander who stands way in the back of the battlefield not moving. That will give lots of time for the poison to work.

But my favorite tactic is to steal his commanders from him. That does double damage. I get a commander and maybe even some nice euipment, while his armies are left leaderless so that they instantly rout in a fight.
