Troop movement is not working properly

[gunsgermssteel]

Over and Over again, it is exhausting to see troop movement be an issue. Why do the troops get stuck trying to go through a wall with a perfectly good hole in the wall right by them? They get stuck and then get massacred by defending units much more inferior in strength because the troops got stuck breaking through a wall that was otherwise already breached right next to it. The game troops need to choose the least past of resistance. What don't the developers understand about this is beyond comprehension. Finish fixing troop movement!!! Right now they have no intelligence when moving along the map.

I think this may have to do with evil hackers that are subverting the intelligence of our troops... could be a variety of reasons. I will try to start a poll so we can use the group mind of forum to find the answer.

That's not the only boneheaded problem. Sometimes the troops can walk past a redoubt or tower (while getting shot at) only to shoot at a market. I've had this idiocy happen to me before. There's been certain instances where troops spawning from garrisons or stables wouldn't be shot at, in fact sometimes my army would allow the enemy troops to get close to them without even fighting back. The AI is worse after the most recent update, so I really wonder if the developers care at all.

Seraphine did just post that Nexon is trying to resolve the AI issues we have been complaining about, so there is some hope for the future. In the meantime, is your icon from a comic or an anime series? It is super cool.

LOL thanks! I just Googled 'samurai' and found this image. It's a drawing made by some amateur so as far as I know it isn't from a comic. But here's the link: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-X3eihN_0T...1M/s1600/samurai_girl_by_leotexas-d648b1c.jpg

Lol, oh well, thanks for letting me know.

Its funny how artillerya doesnt defend itself, but if you have artillery as a defender it causes all sorts of destruction to the attacker.
Why is it bipolar that way? It either helps attack nearing defenders as well, or dont let it defend at all.

The wall issue is the most frustrating of them all though. Lets sit in frustration as our 50 shooters turn to 10 because they need to get through a new wall even though theres a hole right next to them.

Here dev, lets help. LEAST PATH OF RESISTANCE. Hole open means the unit goes to the open hole.

Could the solution really be that simple?

It's not bipolar, it's Tourette's.

No Title

Heres an example of my general hitting a wall with a hole nearby and my blackwatch going the wrong way and getting massacred. The big skull and crossbones is where the general was trying to break out of the wall. The hole was not filled with tanks when i first rallyed the troops outside that box where the general is. I rallyed them all to the outside where you can see troops on the left top side. The troops on the right going through the hole came all the way back to go back inside and not stay in formation and did not shoot the tank with their long range instead kept walking in.

Idiotic troop movement.

and what about the Guerrilla's movement?
the Guerrilla should attack Defensive buildings.
so how is it, that he go all the way from where EVER he is, to the Castle???
and it happened to me that after attacking a tower, he went straight to a FARM while there were still MANY Defensive buildings around there...???

many in our alliance are having same problems with troop movement and rally. I've complained, will see what they say. very frustrating in world war, getting no stars and then no loot on an easy opponent because troops aren't doing as commanded or programmed and get wiped out by a few defenders

It looks like your army had a slim chance of survival, regardless of a broken ai.

here is an example of this problem. The mercenary elephant is stuck busting down a wall with 3 existing holes. I set the rally point to bottom Notice the lancer had no trouble. The elephant spent its whole time opening holes to walls that were already breached and only helped destroy one building. Please devs look into this.

Its frustrating and a game killer.
