[1.291 bug] 1. AI over-purchase of mounts 2. AI hero converts before sovereign surrenders

from Elemental Forums

In my current game, I got a sovereign to surrender. when I looked at his equipment list, I saw that he had purchased 6 horses and 6 wargs. That seems a bit much. don't think he had twelve heros to trade them to.

 

2. When I captured a city with an AI hero, the hero stayed in the city recovering for 5 turns, and then became part of my faction (It wasn't until many turns later that his sovereign surrendered)

For bugs, remember to put them in the support forum.

Also, what difficulty were you playing at? 6 horses and 6 wargs sounds crippling on challenging and below. (This bit is just me being curious.)

I'd rather not say, as to not embarrass myself.  :S

 

But, yea, he was easy pickings, so it must have been crippling.

I have seen this(yes six black horses and wargs and NOT mounted) (on challenging) done by ceresa in the one 1.291 game that I am currently playing.

I've seen that mount purchase problem, too. last game, I didn't find any spots for additional cities nearby so my only option was to build up some units quickly and conquer the closest AI very early. took 2 cities and made the AI sov surrender just to realize that he had 4 wargs and neither the sov nor any of his champs was using them. this was pretty early in the game (maybe turn 50 or something?), so if he actually spent his cash buying wargs instead of rushing some units to fight me, that was pretty bad behavior. though I suspect that maybe the AI sov "magically" gets mounts for all of their champions for free ? in this case it's not so bad i guess. I'd hate to defeat them only because they spent a significant amount of resources on something they don't even use.

Well its just because I know high difficulty AI's starts with tons of gildars, so they might be inclined to buy all kind of nonsense :)
