Just played some custom siege battles. It immediately feels the eight years of waiting is worth it. The AI is so competent in everything. But what really got my attention is the morale system. Every single unit has its own morale. They are constantly making the decision to stand and fight or fall back. When someone start to flee, it lowers the morale of the others, causing a chain route. I saw a defender joining a small fight but then 10 more enemies were coming. He started to run while trying to fight his way out.
This really adds realism to the game. A peasant will no longer charge into a pile of troops alone because there's still an army behind him. Every unit knows how to pick a fight and try to work as a team to minimize losses. Really great job devs!
