Can we PLEASE have an upgrade to troop AI???

[Veldan]

So today I did a battle, and a wall segment was already open, but some of my troops decided to start bashing on another wall segment like 5 segments next to it. This is bad enough, but I thought I'd just use rally to get my troops together again. Except it bugged and didn't work. 3 supply wagons, a bombard, a general and some small troops dead because they bashed on a pointless wall segment untill they died.

This was not exactly the first time something like this happened to me. Troop AI regarding walls is abysmal, and when they're locked on some dumb wall segment, most of the time they also stop responding to rally commands. We really need a fix on this some time.

As everybody else has been asking for over a year now, doubt it. Abysmal is probably the best description. Command & Conquer from 25 years ago was much better.

Now there was a game! Tanks could even crush troops - you know, like in real life .....

I missed that one. Started with Civilization...

 

[xGraves]

I mean, that game WAS pretty amazing....

I would suggest its got worse with the latest update. My British rifles now intentionally walk within range of towers... And howitzers no longer seem to target the TC as a priority.

And on a different note: dude, don't be so lazy with your avatar !!! lol

Bump because still relevant... just lost a 5 star and all my troops because my bombards decided to shoot at wall pieces 2-4 blocks next to an opening.

 

[Ravenlord]

Yeah, but on the plus side - cool avatar!!

I have also lost several times either my bombards because they were not supported by the arquebusiers or the entire battle because of that.

Arquebusiers were busy in attacking a wall segment where there was already an opening in the wall few meters from them!!
