Ai to many skirmishers

[Cokemanjr]

please anyone know of any way or any mod of reducing the amount of skirmishers the ai makes its no fun chasing armies of skirmisher just to watch them be chased around the map or when sieging castles your guys go through the gate and get pummeled with javalins from evey direction

The Radious battle mode is a good choice...

Recruiting at least 2-3 of any type of cavalry works more often than not.

no its just even when you charge the ai they imediatly start running away lets say they have more then 3 skirmishers and you only have 4 calvarly even if you chase one the other one start throwing you javalins at the vbacks of calvarly for extra damage

For me its all about the formation i always put my range out first to draw fire away from my other units then when my basic infantry get close enough and chase away the ranged i swing my cav on each side and pincer them and try and make them scatter, even if dont get them all of them they were at least distracted enough for my main force to take out the rest of their main body and i usually always win this way.

Cavalry

i know the feeling man, skirmishers are boring and they are way too easy to kill with cavalry, it just makes it too easy to defeat the AI simply because the AI always rush up its main body of infantry and leaves its skirmishers defenceless everytime. Peace <3

i dont know why this would be a bad thing. as far as i know you're just whining the game is too hard because the AI uses a tactic that apparently works.
why dont you stop whining and actually counter this tactic, it can be done in many ways.
in land battles its easy, just have enough cav too chase them down or pick them of, and if you dont have (enough) cav, you can still surround the enemy as fast as possible so the skirmishers cant escape. in siege battles its a bit more difficult, but i guess if you'd use some galleries to protect your better units and then just destroy the gate and climb the walls, it shouldnt rly be hard.

It depends on what faction you are fighting against. But as some people said just buy cav or siege equipment.

i was responding to the OP, not to 'they'. 'getting pummeled with javelins from every direction' doesn't seem verry positive and 'easy' to me, does it.
and 'watching an army of skirmishers being chased around the map' also indicates that the OP is doing it quite wrong.

Dude my fave faction for skirmishers are Odrysian Kingdom spam an equal length of peltasts to Thyracian Warriors :3 so much fun to watch their lines melt :3

[SageHashirama]

try Radious or Divide et Impera. those mods have reinforcment script that give AI type of units they historicly had otherwise AI will recruite the dumbest thing possible lol
