Unless very late in the campaign they rarely use any arial units (zeppelins maybe) and then my ground units and/or dragon was sufficient to keep them in line.


Really? For some odd reason I always tend to get at least 1 AI that goes crazy with bomber balloons. It will make packs of them and bomb the ever loving hell out of anything that doesn't have AA. Once I cover everything with AA they switch up their builds but I have definitely seen the AI use air forces.

Naval units is what I've seen the AI not use much (they use transports a fair bit but they tend to avoid ironclads and juggs). Then again that one AI in Swens review stream was crazy about keeping a strong naval presence and would have won with a huge jugg fleet if he didn't use sneaky trooper rushes with capturing.

I think that the AI is definitely a fan of land forces but they are the meat-and-potatoes units of the game while naval/air tends to be more auxiliary. That said I have seen them use them so I suppose your experience is abnormal maybe? Or maybe Swen and I get all the luck with the smart combined arms AI smile
