Greetings all.
So at the moment, in the game I'm playing, I have one nifty city with several nifty units (custom elites) with a fairly powerful sovereign armed with equally powerful fire spells. In terms of the power level of my faction, I'm at a comparatively low level - which means everyone wants to fight me and kill me for the good of the land.
And they try. They try again...and again...and again...and again.
I've killed Magnar's 2 heroes around a dozen times. Magnar himself 3-4 times. His armies an equal number of times.
It seems...well, bad, for the Magnar to throw their troops gleefully onto my swords, arrows, and wonderful waves of fiery death. I'm not sure HOW to code it or change it, really. It seems to be more a matter of faction power than anything else. My troops are doing more damage than my fireball spell in one turn, and my other champions are strong in melee and with magic.
In short, the AI's suicidal drive is nice for XP, but it doesn't do much for their armies when I have yet to lose a single battle - against Tarth, Altar, Gilden, Magnar and Resoln now.
