Excelent Campaign feature not mentioned before

[AB]

Unless i missed it mentioned somewhere else...

The Computer now places AI forces (in campaigns & battles) near the objecive hexes in delay and defense scenarios. In the past, the computer just scattered forces around their entire deployment zone - willy nilly. Now, the victory hexes act as a sort of magnet. This, combined with the ability to place the victory hexes in custom spots; hilltops, woodlines, center of villages, etc, means that the computer can now set up a more reasonable defense or delay.

Am i the only one who noticed this, or did i just miss it in Win SPMBT?
