Is the battle AI worse than in Warband? I set up two formations of heavy infantry in a wooded area in square formation against the Khuzaits and basically mogged 25% of the army by myself. My troops struggled the entire time under enemy fire.
>They walked back and forth while raising and lowering their shields, getting killed. It didn't matter if I moved them, spread them out or placed them on different terrain
>When retreating to regroup with reinforcements, they would slow walk back in a scattered mess instead of organized despite giving them orders to do so. The incoming troops would do the same until they met in the middle. Both enemies and allies do this.
>The square and circle formations are fucked on 1.2.12, as soldiers don't raise their shields properly to defend themselves, leave massive gaps in their defense and have basically no collision as horses ride straight through the formation at a trot.
>Often times they failed to attack or hit enemy cavalry despite them walking into the formation, and enemy infantry would not be attacked unless I gave them the "charge" order.
What is this shit.
