AI deployment issue on mountain map

During a preview stream of the Angevin campaign I had a bit of an odd battle. The map was an unusual one, which featured a large mountain completely dominating the left side of the map.

Naturally, I anchored my left flank on the mountain. The AI Welsh, however, seemed to be unaware of the mountain, and deployed half their troops opposite it:

As a result, nearly half the Welsh army ended up jammed against the mountain slope, trying impossibly to turn back towards the center. With so many Welsh troops rendered ineffectual, my right flank was able to easily sweep to victory:

I have the full video of the battle here: https://youtu.be/WuMgge3Wu_0 . It seems the AI should have seen the massive mountain and deployed more to the open side of the map rather than the middle ... but then again, this was a very unusual map.

Other than this, the game is in great shape as far as I can tell! No other bugs or issues to report (other than my generals unluckily dying all the time).

This is SP. Facing such a rare issue where you think the game won't be as fun as it could be, you'd better stop the battle right away and play another one. AI won't bother, no waste of time, no big deal. :-)

Thanks for the report. We will give it some thought.
