Hiya,
I downloaded the latest patch, and installed it in my Age of Empires III TAD program.
But I still have problems with the civs on islands and large rivers that divide the map.
The computer civs won't cross the sea or river. They just sit there and won't attack across the water.
I thought the latest patch was supposed to take care of that.
Doesn't seem to......
Any help is appreciated.

Dunno man. I havent really played against AI on water maps in a while, but I thought that in vanilla they DID cross the water. Its a long shot, but maybe trying out different AI downloads in the sites download section, you might find some more agressive AI that do cross water

i've experienced this problem myself. it is EXTREMELY annoying as you spend like 20 mins getting to imdustrial or imperial with loads of defense ready to repel an army and the AI just stays on their island, getting picked off by my ships that wander away.
in vanilla they crossed water maps VERY cleverly, using multiple ships as a distraction.
now they dont even try. you think they've learned i'll kick their ass if they cross?

Thanks for the replies. :-)
Yea, I believe in vanilla they did work, but since TWC and TAD, it's been really wonky.
I could have sworn that somebody said the bug.... and it is a BUG.... would be fixed with the latest patch. <shrug>
Maybe I'll try that, trying out different AI downloads, thanks.
Shogun, you're right, that's why they no longer cross. :-)
