Hello
It happens very often to people you need to go somewhere and you cannot attend game or event to long. In that case you plan defense and hope for the best. Unfortunately AI taking over country is not the best and shreds your units into pieces in mindless charges so when you come back you have to rebuild your whole army hoping that you still have any units left
I wondered if there is and option to switch off AI so your armies stay in defensive formation you have left - if we can make if gold future / part of HC for testing purposes that would be something
alternatively gold ability to lock certain stacks in place without possibility to charge or chase enemy would be good idea
I also noticed that AI doesn't seem to have offensive fire but rather Return fire option which limits it's possibility to fight properly with range weapons. Changing that to could help AI lead troops to survive longer
