Does the AI still embark units into water to get slaugthered?

[Rams0505]

Haven't played this game in months and wondering if any of the patches improved the battle AI. Do they still embark units into water when they surround you coastal city, just to get slaugeterd by city atrack or my warships waiting in the water just a few tiles away. It's a great game but the battle AI and dimplomatic AI put me off playing. Played BNW world when it came out but the AI remanined the same so kind of gave up on the game.

There was an update recently if I remmber correctly. Did that improve the AI at all?

The AI still does mental things.

I had Mentzuma declare war on me recently and there was only ONE choke-point tile where he could cross the mountains to get to my territory. I put 1 Swordman and 3 Archers there and just picked his troops off 1 by 1. I must have killed about 30 units coming through that pass, one at a time, before I got bored and finally accepted his 4th or 5th peace deal.

no AI improvements at all

they still do dumb crap like embark land ranged units in front of enemy cities

It improved the AI a bit, but yes they still leap into the water, maybe they should just give AI a defense bonus while in the water in higher difficulties
10% for 5, 25% for 6, 50% for 7, 100% for 8

The AI sometimes can catch you with your pants down yes (like having 3 or 4 civs declaring war on you when your unhapiness is at its peak and production is wayyy down). But on the all in all yuppers they are pretty stupid when it comes to war.

Really? Whew, i feel less guilty killing those poor bastards embarked near my cities, or when they suicide slam against the cities walls without troops to support the invasion, thanks.
