The Sleeping Archbishop: AI not using armies against me
I didn't see this bug in Grosshaus's bug list nor in the forum, so I'm reporting it here. (My apologies if this turns out to be a duplicate)
The AI was acting very strangely in the game I just played. I was playing as Duke of Swabia, and I declared war on the Count of Württemberg. The Count of Württemberg is a vassal of the Archbishop of Trier, who naturally declared war on me in response.
I immediately invaded Württemberg, fought the Count of Württemberg's armies, and defeated him. His defeated army retreated toward Trier. I laid siege to Württemberg, nervous because I could see that the Archbishop of Trier had called up his armies and those of a number of his vassals. He probably had control of 6000-8000, while I just had 2000. The Archbishop's armies, however, just sat around the whole time doing nothing.
After I had finished off Württemberg and added it to my demesne, the Archbishop refused peace. His armies were just sitting where he raised them, about 1,000 men per army. So I marched around, defeating his armies piecemeal, and I outnumbered him 2 to 1 in every battle. His armies did not once budge from their spots or attempt to merge together. Even when I was sieging Trier, he had several 1,000 men armies in neighboring provinces just sitting around doing nothing, as if they were all asleep
The Count of Württemberg, on the other hand, was still leading his army (which was now about 100), acting like a normal commander. He counterattacked me on several occasions, the last when I was sieging Trier. He joined up with the Archbishop's army on a few occasions after he lost, but the Archbishop's armies might as well have been asleep. The Archbishop should have done *something* rather than let me attack his armies piecemeal. His armies never once moved, and only fought me when I attacked. Not even when I was sieging Trier, did he attempt to counterattack like the Count of Württemberg tried to.
Naturally, I won that war, but the Archbishop should have easily beaten me. Most likely, he should have come after me when I was sieging Württemberg. The Count of Württemberg was acting completely differently, even intelligently on occasion.
I believe the sleeping Archbishop is an AI bug.
I should mention that I this was the 1066 scenarion on the 1.01 patch, which I installed right after I first installed CK.
