Looks like there is a really great LOTR mod for Medieval 2 I would like to try out but am hesitating buying another Creative Assembly game...
I owned both Rome (original) and Empire and played a total of about 50 hours of Rome and 15 hours of Empire. I have even tried what was supposed to be the best total revamp (Darth Vader something) of Empire and the AI was still nonexistent. I don't consider myself any kind of tactical expert, I am inept at anything RT but still regularly defeat armies of 1,000s with the same two or three regiments. I tried the game again about a year ago.
So is the AI as retarded in Medieval 2 as Empire (which came out later, diff engine)? Or can it be fixed by mods?
AI in a strategy game is kinda important. I don't mind stupid campaign AI so much, can deal with that by choosing weaker start or deliberate self-sabotage but if combat/tactical AI doesn't work it is just like masturbating.
