280 men? Hm that is a nice little army indeed!

This is so weird. Why the heck the AI won't use that much heavy/elite units??

I was saying that Mictlan as a nation doesn't get very strong units. The report said that it was composed of eagle and jaguar warriors in addition to other units, so it wasn't just rabble. I'm just clarifiying, I'm not saying there is no room for improvement.

So you had a battle with that AI army?

Not with that one, it was the Last turn, but I had skirmishes with Mictlan before, and their bulk is somewhat low tech. I encountered eagle warriors, and they're slightly better. Jaguar ones I haven't seen in the field, but they sound like elites...

The biggest strength for Mictlan I've seen so far are the massed volleys of javelins- those can be really devastating.

I have a very good idea. Well hopefully it is a very good idea.

So we all know about the debug mode, and that we can pass the control to the AI.
What about adding a special debug mode.

Special debug mode:
((
1. make a god
2. set up a game
3. let the AI control our nation
))

-->>
We will be able to see the actions of the AI. That would be awesome. Than, it would be lot easier to post suggestions about the AI. {{Now, after you've gave the control to the AI, the game will quit.}}

What do you think? [I hope that this is possible.]

Hell yeah! We need something like this, to test the AI! Devs? Hello?

Mictlan doesn't really have heavy infantry. I saw the AI throw big big Groups of troops at me containing warriors (a bit too many without armor) and jaguar warriors, eagle warriors, and sun warriors. Unfortunately I don't think he blessed the eagle warriors which is sad. I don't want to spoil them for you but they're a really cool unit idea.

For mictlan elite troops are just sacred, only sun are really better armored than standard, and i think they have only 11 prot.
