There was no delay in the retreat from on-map to Pays Bas, so I assaulted he next turn. BTW setting is AI has + 2 FOW advantage.
in the same game, by Jan 1758, Friedrich had taken Prag, Wien and Brunn, but everyone is starving to death, even in Wien. That latter in particular was not understandable.
So Louis, Pompadour, Maria Teresa are dead I think ( caught them with cavalary in small cities).
Seems as you ran into a bunch of problems in a few moves.
First, I will upload shortly a new version of AI events as I've fixed a large error recently.
But that's not solving your concerns.
For Pays-bas and France, I will have to script something. The Keith's retreat is IMHO tied to the retreat bug recently spotted and to be fixed in the next ROP version. But yes, something must be done to force Austrian AI to protect in this case France.
For Wien, Brun and Prag, I wrote events to force AI to defend this cities when assieged. So either these events aren't working, with Austrian AI remaining passive or you repuslsed the relief columns...In any case, I would need the scriptreport file in the ROP/ script directory to know if these events fired.
Supply problems aren't AI related.
Last, I've yet to create something for the defense of the cities recently conquered by the AI. I suspect your move around WESEL wasn't really checked by the AI.
