So, I was playing against hard AI in the Stalingrad Railway map against a single hard Wehrmacht AI, and, since I'd been reading about tactics involving barbed wire, I started trying to do some of that; sealing off areas I didn't want infantry breezing through, encircling points I owned to prevent capture, stuff like that. My conscripts went ahead and took the center of the map, fortifying it to the Nth degree, and then the AI just...stopped attacking me.
I sent a sniper in to spy on the enemy, and they'd all gathered in a chokepoint near their base. Also, they were mass producing StuGs, and ONLY StuGs, as quickly as they could get the resources together, but they weren't doing anything with them. They were just sitting around the Tank Depot (or whatever the Wehrmacht have for that), and clogged up the base.
So, I went in and decided to clean some house with T-34s and IS-2s, and the battle was actually somewhat spectacular. However, the AI refused to rebuild any building I blew up, so once it was gone, it stayed gone, and those other guys forming the defensive checkpoint? They never came over to help defend.
What exactly is going on here? Is my barbed wire frenzy breaking the AI's mind? Are they sitting in there, trying to figure out how to get to those all important fuel points without resorting to wire cutters?
