I’m a vasal with the Khuzaits and I feel like the AI is not doing me any favors. We were at war with Sturgia and the Aserai at the same time which was a nightmare because everyone was running north and south. Not at war with Sturgia anymore but as soon as we made peace with them Monchug went and declared war with the western empire. I have 15 fiefs and they all border the western empire. So while every place I own is getting attacked Monchug and all the other assholes have been fighting over Shibal Zumr Castle. One side takes it and back and forth so most of the army is over there. And I’m in the same situation over at Onica castle. I own it but they take it and then I take it back. No one is getting anywhere. I want to go on the offensive and take Zeonica but I just don’t have enough people and I don’t think I can get anymore. Any tips for this stalemate? And where do all their troops keep coming from? They keep coming with 1100 troop armies and I keep destroying them, shouldn’t the...
I decided to give Gekokujo a try today and the first thing I noticed is that the AI in battle seems significantly more intelligent than native or really anything else I've played.
I joined up as a Samurai for my local lord to make some cash and get some combat experience before raising my own merry band and in the first battle my jaw dropped at what these AI were doing.
We were slightly outnumbered so our Lord pulled us back up onto a hill, placed his archers forward and spread them out with spears behind. The archers picked off the enemy as the charged up the hill and when they were about 50 meters out, the archers ran back and the spearmen moved forward. Not a charge mind you, they literally swapped spots with the archers. They held position until the last second and charged into the enemy line.
Now, I was wounded so I fell in battle from an arrow while defending my Lord from a spearman trying his best to unhorse him so I had a pretty good view of the flanking party the enemy lord led to our side!
In another battle on an open field both armies formed up in ranks, archers in front, and started marching forward towards each other. Eventually the archers stopped and the infantry charged into each other in a giant melee/meatgrinder.
Is it just me or is Gekokujo's combat AI actually that much smarter than what I'm used to? Because I know for damn sure in Viking Conquest they have no concept of formations besides what I tell them.
TL;DR Gekokujo is too smart, melted my brain.
