Howitzer AI

[Kaiser Shag]

Guys, please do something about this,
I made an attack using 4 howitzers, guess what ? the 4 howitzers (deployed at the same place) made 3 holes in the wall to rally on the same target !
It's just so frustrating when you loose your howitzers in battle because of this stupid behaviour. Of course other units do the same stupid thing, but loosing 4 stupid rifleman is not as frustrating as loosing 4 stupid howitzers ...
Also during the same battle I had some tanks, a few of them made a hole in the wall and continued toward a poor catapult passing nearby an anti-tank gun without destroying it first and thus also being killed in a stupid way ...

One thing I have never understood is why howitzers/artillery/cannons take 3 times as long to train as tanks. Is a tank not just an armored turreted cannon on treads?​​​​

​​​​​Factor in their lengthy training times with their inexplicable AI (any building does not mean any building, they seem to love locking onto useless mills and markets due to their high hp), and their inability to defend themselves, along with the asinine concept that they only get splash damage on defense, and they can be very frustrating indeed.

Still say airplanes have the absolute worst AI but it's always a close contest. Shooter AI is atrocious too, but at least they're cheap, though they hardly follow their job descriptions either.
