Hi, I've just bought the game today. The AI can actually challenging for once, and graphics are nicely done. But there are some really annoying issues:
1. unit free movement: The AI opponent may be competent, but the same can't be said about the AI of the players units. They constantly change their angle without being told, so instead of shooting the 1200 men unit infront of them (which is shooting them), they change direction to shoot at some 200 skirmishers which are just passing by. Another problem is that its impossible to concentrate Art fire on specific targets without babysitting the Art units. Instead of shooting at something else when target isn't available anymore (i assume that's was happens), they come out of their (relative) safe zone, going toward enemy lines, and try a suicide charge, Instead of forgeting that specific unit and firing at something else. So i have to tell every unit to halt.
2. Melle/charge: The AI may move when i don't want. But when i order 20 times to charge a unit they are just standing by and sometimes shoot. Melee combat also seems to barely do any damage. All this seems to make Art OP. example: ordering 1000+ unit to charge an Art unit of 70. They move and stand infront of the cannons. While starring at the cannons they get canisterd to oblivion. And when a unit does move to enemy Art, the Art just runs almost at the same speed as the infantry.
