Hi!

That was my usuall approach when attacking forts: blew a hole (or
two), send in fast cavalry ('ve got too much of it when two indian
nations joined my empire :-), backed with light artillery. In the late
game (when attacking defended fortresses) I usually lost a couple of
cavalry and one or two cannons, but AI lost almost everything.
I thing I've noticed is veterans got killed, as they don't panic. A
better approach was to send in new units first. They panicked after
the second hit and weren't targeted anymore.
Just a side note: IMO the AI doesn't handle well a winning player.
They kept bickering among themself, despite I was approaching the
victoy condition very fast. I've stoped conquest of the Old world just
before I met it, and kept there for quite some time, to see the
complete tech tree. They never united, and I also noticed a slight
increase in relations with Portugal.
