thanks for the blog update!
but I got question for somethings about demo play...
about AI tatics, you said,
quote from blog 13 :
The battle we engage in demonstrates how some of that behaviour translates to the battlefield. Ecarand, as the defender, takes position on the high ground and waits for us to act. Since the onus is on us to attack, as the aggressors, he is happy to hold the hill. However, some lords may choose to play aggressive, even as the defender. In the demo, Ecarand roundly trounces a group of our archers but only charges in when recognises that vulnerability.
but sorry to say, that Ecarand reactions are nothing as Tactical or Cautious.
you said he "
only charges in when recognises that vulnerability", but when in other demo play, Ecarand charges his cavalry in to bunch of well positioned foot-soldiers. and at least it's not a flank attack or hit-and-run maneuver. he just wasting all of his cavalries for single useless attack, and it doesn't make sense if you keep saying AI's using Tactics.
another demo-play looks same on these part.
in that moment, Ecarand's cavalries are making heavy casualties to players archers, but no re-grouping after first charging
then all of cavalries scattered and killed one by one.
if you say that Ecarand guy had "I Hate Cavalry!" or "I Hate Horses!" trait,
well, then I'll give Clap for you. but, if it isn't...
I hope that part should be enhance when it releases..
keep it a good work!
+ sorry for my bad english
