Is it just me or is the Asrai AI too aggressive?

Warhammer II

Still going at my Belegar campaign, and Orion is fucking zerg rushing Karak Izor with stack after stack of treemen+waywatchers

At this point I've grinded down something like nine stacks and he still insists on sending more armies at me with no desire for a peace treaty; at this point post-battle loot and released prisoners from Talsyn is literally part of my budget. Wood Elves are about protecting athel loren, not dying in droves to try conquer a mountain they can't even really inhabit. Hopefully the upcoming DLC gives a tweak or two to their AI.

Most of my games Welves are extremely reserved EXCEPT while playing as Skarsnik or Belegar. Maybe you just expand too fast and are a neighbor and they preemptive strike.

I hope the new update won't break their ai.

I still have nightmares from woodelf tide in wh1

Yeah, winning the chaos warriors campaing while still in Norsca or Kislev was prime meme material back then

That's possible, although I hadn't made any hostile moves towards them. In fact I even went for NAPs that I eventually got, but Orion broke them for the sole purpose of trying to grind down Karak Izor.

Hey we love these games because they are sandboxes. And if every once in a while the Welves drop the isolationist methods then it keeps ya on your toes every playthrough.

As Skarsnik, the WE absolutely hates me, declares war on me and then proceed to completely ignore me. It's a bit strange tbh.

Exact opposite for me, during my Grom campaign every single wood elf faction declared war but never actually left their forest to attack.
