AI improvements?

[Karagin]

Offering a small comment on the AI, mainly because I still believe, yes, both Andy and Don have told me I am crazy for this, the AI cheats when it comes to artillery plotting. But that is another topic best left dead.

The AI does a lot better than it has in past versions. I have noticed that it will use the flanks of the maps vs. running right up the middle, which was the standard of the old DOS days. I have also noticed that it has at times, in random one-off battles, bought a decent force to counter things I bought, or when I have forgotten to buy AA units, I have found that it will make me pay for that mistake.

I have also seen the AI use air assault-style attacks where as unless the person had set a scenario up for said event, the AI was never very good at these in the past, so overall the changes made over the years are some really good ones.
