No enemy cheating (elite troops spawn from birth)

[Shinigami]

The AI cheats, everyone knows that. But there is one thing I don't want the AI doing.
After capturing a town (I defeated lots of enemies while doing it but they always had at least 10% of their army being near-elite men, like veterans and Man at Arms) I captured a castle. The next day my castle is besieged by this:
Swadian: 12 lords,
Crossbowman - 156
Skirmisher - 229
Militia - 298
Recruit - 163
Man at Arms - 113
Sharpshooter - 8
Footman - 42
Infantry - 2
Knight - 6
Vaegir: Archer - 2
Notice the difference - 6 knights and 113 Man at Arms.

Suggestion: do not allow the AI to spawn whatever force it wants, spawn only recruits/militia and prepare the rest through training. Or spawn militia, recruits, and skirmishers, but not veterans. Or spawn those elite warriors from birth, but not in such numbers!

I'm sorry?

And after reading the rest of this suggestion, I fail to see what you're getting at. You want the AI to spawn armies made of weak and low tier soldiers?

First of all, that's not cheating. Secondly, I don't see why.

So, at the time of your arrival as an adventurer in Calradia, a war-torn land, Kingdoms were just starting to raise armies and begin wars, and wars HADN'T been going on before you arrived?

After having your army defeated 3 times during 3 days, you STILL have the same army as 3 times before, you STILL have same units.
And after being defeated several times, you gather your friends and go into the middle of enemy territory to... loot a village...
I don't see logic here. Because I don't have enemies on Nord side but they come in large numbers to loot my village or besiege my castle...

Those armies spawn out of nowhere. Or to be exact I can't find a place where I can always hire those elite soldiers (I want to hire them too).

The AI can not play better than a human at this point of time in games I've played. Some seem pretty smart but its always a set of pre-defined rules in scripts. So to beat a human they need an advantage. But since giving an advantage a human can use would lead to human dominating the AI, the human can not get that advantage that AI uses. And having an advantage over a player (the one that player can't use) is cheating 
You can't get lots of elite warriors after yours have been just annihilated, can you (in unlimited numbers)? You can't "escape" after your army has been defeated, can you (you're unconscious, because thats the first thing I do - kick enemy lords off the battlefield)? Well, the AI can and does.

I think he means when they respawn, not when they start off. Basically make them need to play (somewhat) like the player.

Speaking of cheating. Anyone else notice so many enemys get to stunlock you (especially the two handed axe wielding nords) because they get to swing THROUGH their allies. And at that, they can rapid fire their jab attacks from up close due to an animation recycle bug?

Nords love this trick.

They came to capture a castle. A 1053 or so soldiers. I defeated them (they were fighting and sometimes one of lords got thrown away from fighting with 0% hp, and I defeated the guy and waited for next one, defeated them all during a day or so).

And the next day a 1000-men army comes from Nords to loot my village...
And I defeated them. Somehow. Thanks to ally who was just walking by with his 100+ soldiers and another one who pulled 200 soldiers away, so I only had to fight like 300 enemies.

And the next day Swadians come to take my castle! And guess what? 11 lords, 959 soldiers.

Yes, I mean that it would be nice if they had to spend 2-3 (or better 7) days gathering troops instead of coming with a new 1000-soldier army every day...

-edit-
in 2 days here comes the third thousand... But this time they lost some 340 men somewhere (I guess it was them who just ran off a second before the attack began). So how long will it last? Swadia sends several thousand men to die on a weekly basis. Wow they must have a cloning machine somewhere. The next time I capture a lord, I'll just put them in my dungeon and won't let go. Ever. Hoping to capture half of enemy lords so they'll stop these weekly thousands.

they are trying to sit me out? They just siege my castle but don't attack...

first lord of the "attack pack" captured successfully. lets see what happens now...
