Impossible to catch enemy armies, they just run and run and run.
9 armies came into my territory and sacked almost every settlement, I chased them forever and they just run away over and over again. I never get to have any battles, it's just an endless chase............ This game is beginning to annoy the ♥♥♥♥ out of me.

As others have said, use ambush. I often put my main big army into ambush stance and then make a little cheap army with only about 7 units to stand next to it. Often the enemy can;t resist what they think is an easy kill. Great way of skillling up two Lords quickly.
Also certain heroes have a slow army skill which can reduce how far the army can move for a few turns, so easy to catch up with them.

You can do the exact same thing to them, clicking on the enemy lets you know how far they can move, why should the a.i not be able to do the same thing?

AI doesn't like to engage in unequal fights and will just Benny hill run away from you trolling the hell out of you. While another faction comes in on another border and hits your soft spots. Ambush thing doesn't work that much anymore i've had ai just dip when they're one move away and i'm in ambush stance.

We've come full circle, first people are complaining about bad AI that needs patching, and now they are complaining about the AI using strategy against you.

They can notice ambushes, just like you can. The more lords and heros ai has in the area the more likely he'll notice you. So far I've used ambushes to great success by having two armies, one full of units and another with just a lord, acting as a bait.

I'm hoping this is true, in tw2 you can go ambush right in front of them and they won't even see it. Crazy how people hate better a.i.

I think I will just mod the game to give my armies more movement than AI armies instead. Or I'll get a mod that makes the AI way more aggressive and not an annoying coward that runs half way across the map, dying to attrition and losing their entire empire just so that it stays out of a fight with my army.
