In Army General the defender AI sometimes owns about 70 % of the map

I play Army General and I attack the AI. In this case sometimes the AI starts owning already about 70 % of the map and basically all Flags. And the AI can deploy units in 70 % of the map and I only have a very small stripe to deploy my units

First I thought this is the defenders advantage. But other times when I attack, the AI owns exactly half the flags like me. And both my and AI's deployment zone has the exact same size.

So what gives? If I attack, how do I know whether the AI starts with such a big advantage or not?

If you attack an enemy battalion that didn't move during its turn, they get the control advantage.

If the enemy attacks one of your groups that didn't move, you get the advantage.

If both your group and the enemy's group moved in the strategic turn, no one gets the advantage and map control is split evenly.

It's not about not moving its specifically about being entrenched. Check for shovel symbol, that tells whether you'll need to fight a breakthrough or not

@Shortpower: I think the advantage I am talking about is independent of the shovel symbol / dig in / breakthrough mechanic. I am aware, that some units can dig in. And if they digged in and they defend, they can build defenses. The attacker has to fight breakthrough.

But I am talking about a different mechanic. There are some battles (against defenders who did NOT dig in), where the defender has the advantage of owning about 70 % of the map. And some battles, where the defender does not own 70 % of the map.
