Hi again!
This time I need your support regarding AI corps commanders performance in SP scenario and sandbox battles. I searched both in the manual and the forum, but I did not find anything similar to the problem I have.

I noticed that, playing as a division or brigade (human) commander, in every scenario I tried the AI corp commander was moving forward only one division (the one I play in), ignoring all the others. In 1 scenario I tried to fight anyway for quite a long time, but all the other divisions were not sent to the fight anyway, even if we were losing.
In some scenarios it also happened that the AI corp commander did not give any order at all and all the army was just waiting (even if the description of the scenario was suggesting quite the opposite). Before you ask: I'm always playing in the army suggested by the scenario itself (if any).

Sometimes I face the same issue during sandbox battles, even if not always (maybe it depends on the OOB?).

Do you have any suggestion? Could it be an installation problem, or the mod is supposed to act like that?

Thank you!

The AI at Corps and army level are fairly weak. It is code that is mostly in the game engine so it is not available for modding. It has to be re-written from scratch.

The behavior you mention is partly a function of the type of battle you are fighting, the number of map objectives and the abilities of the army or Corps commander. To maximize your chances of getting a good game, use 3 map objectives in an attack battle with 3 or more divisions. The Ai should move 2/3 of the divisions to either the objectives or close by.

But Biflat has asked about situation when He's just part of the AI led Corps - And this actually made me thinking - is it possible to call for help to AI Corps commander? (simulating what would AI division commander do)

Yes you can ask for help by sending a request support courier message, (under the support tab), to the Corps commander. He will either reply that he is sending support or that no help is available.

Is an Attack game with 3 objectives better than Hunt Them Down in a Corps vs Corps battle? (With AI leading the Corps e.g., Arthur Wellesley)
