Division

[Xajmai]

Is it bad to make divisions? I split my kingdom in 2 with every single overseer role in the other division being filled. Now that i check my list i can se that 5+ officers are without roles and multiple areas are without overseers. Why does the AI do that? Should i refrain from dividing my kingdom at all?

Depends on what part of the game you are on. If you are early on with plenty of orders left over at the end of your turns, then they are terrible. If you are later on and running out of orders, then you are sort of forced into divisions.

You can assign up to 7 or 8 divisions, so you can put the back end of your kingdom under multiple divisions all with the command to develop.

AI does that because they are moving officers around. I believe they are assigning the best overseers to lower area cities.

is there some restriction to movement for the ai? because im pretty sure the same 5 guys have been without any overseer roles for a few months now

The stupidest thing you can do is create divisions! Why play the game if you're going to let the Artificial Ignorance move your pieces stupidly? The AI is poorly programmed for most features of this fine fun game, well basically any form of war game.

You want to focus personally on building up your provinces and especially your cities which the AI sucks at. You want to ensure that you develop a city level by level for gold or supplies or troops as cities level up only after all three types have been upgraded one level. You want your officers overseeing provinces and doing troop recruitment and training.

Forget about divisions, they are for stupid lazy players only! Embrace and enjoy the micromanaging of your cities and armies. Only pathetic players would run out of orders well into the game when you have 30 or more to play with each turn.

yeah i always feel like i have extra orders. I have dissolved my division. Maybe ill remake it when i wanna clean up all minor factions.

Best to stay away from divisions for mopping up duties as the pitiful AI will only prolong the agony. Better to do the honors yourself far more quickly and efficiently than the AI could ever do. Best to control your armies and the supplying of them as we do a far better job of those important functions.
