I want the ai to not be dumber than it was in warband. They showed off some videos in a dev blog with duels against high tier ai units and the fights looked dope, the elite ai units looked like a genuine challenge, and then the game came out and they're just as stupid as in warband. Even more so, you can litterally just strafe to the right spamming attack and they can't even turn to face you. Where did that competent ai go? I don't think guys on horses are even capable of blocking, I've literally never seen it. If they can't reach you with their weapon they will just sit there and die. When you go down in a battle or tournament, just choose one random soldier and spectate them. It's agony watching them bumble around, randomly stopping and standing still for like 10 seconds, cavalry just riding off in random directions, archers not firing for no reason. Sieges are disasters half the time, with the ai breaking down the gate with a ram, and then instead of running through, they turn around and run back out to go for the wall ladders lol. They push a siege tower until it's 3 feet from the wall, then give up and just run into the wall. The defenders are just as bad, the clump of dudes standing behind the gate will not turn around to save their lives, when your men get behind them from scaling the ladders they just stand there and die.
