A regular unit fortifying will now get a 50% defensive bonus instead of 25%, so those hill fortresses with fortified riflemen better be bombarded to their last hit-point before you send in your boys, or they will get slaughtered. Open ground will be a hazardous place to be, but youll pretty much have to use it on campaign, at least if you want to bring your artillery (unless you rely solely on so-so mountain guns). So in this game, when facing an enemy army, it is very important to find the good ground first, fortifying, and backing your men up with artillery.
Hmm... how does the AI react to that? I think we all know how stupid the AI when it comes to artillery
