pcasey -> AI CounterAttacks (1/28/2020 12:47:38 AM)

If you move troops into a hex occupied by the AI, one of two things happens.
Option #1 --- the AI starts bombarding you, but otherwise doesn't do much
Option #2 --- the AI counterattacks and launches either a Deliberate of a Shock attack
In a lot of ways Option #2 is a better outcome for a human player as the AI tends to misjudge the balance of forces and can bleed itself white trying to dislodge your army, eventually making it easier to to the hex in question.
Its not particularly clear to me though under what circumstances the AI chooses Option #2.
Observationally, it *seems* to like to counter-attack when it perceives itself to have about a 3:1 AV advantage e.g. if I start drawing troops away from a deadlocked position, once my troop strength gets down to just about 1/3 of the AI's strength it tends to attack.
My questions here are:
1) Are other people seeing the same two factor AI behavior?
2) Does anybody know the actual "counterattack" conditions the AI operates under? I have a feeling its more sophisticated than just having a 3:1 advantage but I don't know the game well enough to parse out the details.
