I don't know if it is repairable, but if I go to Acheron's city I always see a giant stack of units waiting there for centuries, probably because they want to conquer it, but they don't get it that you have to have the courage promotion to attack Acheron at all or to attack him effectively (with 0.34), because if they kept the behaviour they show right now it would even get worse (because they threw some units at Acheron with the belief to be able to attack him with the whole stack, but only some get through and so the stack would be eaten after a short time).
 
actually they are waiting for YOU to try and fail to attack, then they can steal a kill from the weakened Acheron :)

Perhaps a way round this is, if once every X turns (100?) Acheron falls asleep and does not generate Fear. Then the AI stacks could charge in and get eaten.
 
Heh.... I saw this in my last game. I wasn't sure if courage would affect enemy units but I walked an adept onto their stack (we weren't at war) and cast courage. I didn't see the courage icon but after I ended turn, they took the city..... of course since they just lost most of their biggest stack and had a fresh dragon's horde, I dominated his Baron Halfmoon and took the city next turn :P

Hopefully with the new % chance of fear not working this shouldn't happen anymore...
