Why doesn't the AI attack me on water maps?
I'm playing Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition on a water-heavy map, but the enemy AI barely attacks me.
They build up their economy and army, but they don't seem to make any serious attempt to invade my island or attack me by land even if they have a way to do it without ships.
Is this a known issue with the AI? Is there something about the map generation or AI behavior that prevents it from using transport ships effectively?
I'm playing against the standard AI, not a custom scenario.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a setting, map type, or difficulty level that makes the AI more aggressive on water maps?
