AI logic concerning rebels and reinforcements

[unmerged(23737)]

I've experienced two very stupid ai logic weaknesses:
1. I've seen often the ai fighting rebels until their last men, but not building new units. So for example Prussia lost their 14 divisions at start of GC until 1845 only against rebels. Same issue i saw for the ottomans if they made the wrong choice in their reform event in beginning of GC.

2. The second issue that ai, as i experienced, will minimize military maintance during peace. It's okay so far...this will lead to division strengths of 1000 or 1200 men. But if they fight rebels and lose some men the ai will never reinforce back to 1000 or 1200 men!
The ai will wait until division is destroyed...very stupid!

Those both issues of ai logic should be improved!

This might be a problem with the setup rather than the AI. Recall that the initial manpower for the nations is negative. You can't reinforce when your manpower is negative. And therefore...

The solution, I think, is not to tweak the AI to produce more soldiers, its economy is weak enough anyway, but to correct the setup in the GC so the nations start with enough soldiers to support their armies.

It has nothing to do with negative manpower. Negative manpower in the beginning is problem only for human player not ai(because ai always converts enough pop's to soliders when needed). It's the ai logic that forbidds division to be in maximum strenght during peace time(minimum defense_budget and land_maint.)...and i guess there is no way to make it raise strenght of some divs when fighting rebels.
System is working rather well right now...few divs lost here and there ain't such a big problem...compared to what used to be in 1.01 or 1.02.
