Enemy won't attack cities

[Fuzzyballs01 ꦙ]

so I'm playing on hard, and the AI decides never to attack my cities, they always go for my villages
I didn't really notice at first because it's the "smart" thing to do I guess, but when the Huns come at you, with 3 stacks right next to a city, and they prefer to pull back and destroy some other nation, that's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

make the AI more stupid, I'd like to play at least ONE defensive siege battle during my campaign, just one, please? it's all I'm asking for

hey i think i am having the same problem

[La Comte de Frou Frou]

Why would they attack a walled, defended city instead of attacking an easier, possibly undefended target elsewhere? Seems pretty smart to me.

[Fuzzyballs01 ꦙ]

because it's right next to their borders, unlike the small town
and if you mean the Huns, they've razed other cities, why wouldn't 3 armies attack my city? they have over twice my units

[La Comte de Frou Frou]

Because they would take huge losses. Well defended, walled settlement or largely undefended settlement a few kliks away.... Hard money or easy money? Lots of dead or lots alive for next raid? I'm not saying it isn't a bug, maybe it is but I wouldn't attack a well defended city if i thought the losses would outweigh the benefit.

I don't think you know how to read
I don't care if the AI is stupid, I want to to have fun, and defending my walls once in a while is fun to me

doesn't matter, I already modded the modifier my self, so you can just ♥♥♥♥ off with your stupid comments that have nothing to do with what I asked for

Which is?

Are their Garrisoned units inside? I'm guessing the enemy is trying to lure you out to fight in the battlefield so the don't get owned by the towers. I love defending in this game because towers are a pain, so I just swarm an army on a city after a siege and auto resolve it just to avoid turret fire.

I also fight the enemy by razing or occupying his small cities while they turtle inside, just to screw them on their economy before I siege the city. It's tactics man! (I play on easy too though)

Given larger cities garrison size and if your army is parked in it, it won't attack too much of a loss for only so much gold.
