AI forming corps in1.14

[mjw]

It's august 1862 and I am playing the confederacy. Union launches attack with 4 "armies"...one under mcClellan, one under Banks, one under Butler and one under McDowell. Each is corps "sized" but is organized only as a "command". I was wondering why the ai had not formed this force into an army with associated corps instead of 4 commands with 30 percent command penalties? Any ideas? I have always found the AI to be decent at organizing so I am not sure what's going on.

I guess a better question would be if anyone else has had this issue or is the AI forming armies and corps post 1.14 as before? May be just the way my game is unfolding...

Last bump...now 1863 (july) and I have three corps-sized "commands" coming at me with 35 percent command penalties. Why won't they form armies, corps or even divisions? Just dozens of brigades under a general.

If this is a limitation of the AI...fine, just want to know if there is another setting that will enable it

No idea. I have not played 1.14 much.
But before the Ai has no problem with creating armies+crops organizations. Not as good as the player but she did.
There is not a single Ai corp over the map??

maybe there is an conflict with the new delayed corps creations introduced in 1.14?

Hi
Checking around i have found this recent mini AAR from a spanish player with the 1.14 patch.
He is the CSA and plays against the USA Ai.
It does not matter you cannot understand what he says, but if you look at the first screens on the post you will notice at least two Ai USA corps there

So the 1.14 Ai can form corps and did form them on his game.
Not sure why she does not on mjw... bad luck??

Maybe just my luck...oh well. But no, not a single AI corps or army. Odd. Thanks for replies!

Hi!
The crossed sword is standard game. They appear on the Replay function every time there is a battle.
The interface differences are a buttons mod Picaron did.
