Close Combat only AI?

Is there any reason why the AI has a preference to get into close combat in this game (as well as Empire too)?
I don't not understand why the AI does this in every battle, considering they are ranged units primarily. They should act like Archers in the other games staying away from close combat, but every game I've played against the AI it keeps closing until it bungles it's way into close combat, or flat out charges.
I've tried a few mods to improve the AI, but they don't really do a lot to stop the AI from charging into combat.
