AI spamming native units

[mcclanahan3826]

I know AI being stupid with recruiment is a total war staple but on my current Babylon campaign I have not seen any army besides Akkadian farmer stacks. Does this get better later on in the campaign?

It is less stupid in this game though. Sheer unit mass is weighted way heavier in autoresolve than higher tier units than in most TW's. Two T1 20-stacks is actually quite potent.

As for the better units, it seems that the AI's access to Bronze is the key. The Alashiya faction which owns the best Bronze province in the game will run 20-stacks of T3 and later T4 units really, really early in the game.

Now, we all know that the AI cheats and whatnot but it seems to be "fairly" coded not to spam higher tier units unless they own provinces with the adequate resources.

I was about to create a post about the very same issue, I was surprised when I got to fight the Elamite regions there was actually resistance.
