I'd like to start this off by thanking the developers for starting to fix the A.I., definitely a step in the right direction. However, light troops (aka Arquebusiers) are now going full retard. I just had 15 of my 22 Arquebus taken out by a single enemy defender. my units continued to gleefully ignore him even after destroying multiple buildings and my trying to reset them with a rally. This needs to be fixed. This was the worst one today but not the only one!

Light troops definitely need to have their A.I. redone. Just played a bunch more battles with similar results. Light troops seem to want to target ANYTHING but defenders, as it is, they don't do it reliably.

Also, health carts/wagons will often still "freeze" after a rally. They simply jog in place for the rest of the battle doing no healing. It seems to be happening more frequently than before the update

This is ridiculous considering their primary purpose is to kill defenders. How can this be so botched?

I just had something similar happen to all troops who's primary target is a defensive building. About half way through the battle they just stood there, doing nothing. Hero stood around for a bit too but decided to start moving again after about 10 seconds, the others were still out to lunch though.

I know right? Light troops are intentionally bad at destroying buildings, so of course.. They go out of their way to target buildings. This is getting very frustrating, as I'm getting swamped by defenders while my light troops gleefully (and slowly) cut down a farm. Spawning in seems to have a 50/50 chance targeting a defender/building. IF the defender is right on top of them, if the defender is behind a building.. Well.. This is game breaking as I have had at least 10 battles where my light troops get wiped out by single defenders. Even rallying back towards an empty spot won't wake them up once they go full retard.. They will walk ACROSS THE MAP ignoring the stream of defenders following them to attack a freaking BUILDING!
