Troops are dumber then dirt

You just laid down your archer queen, the target (town hall) is right in sight. The mighty queen lvl 40 queen is set to destroy the town hall and earn 50%. You laued down a rage spell. But wait, the queen takes a turn and decides to go on the outside of the base. Suddenly you see that 30 seconds remain, all you have left are clan castle troops. You quickly lay down everything and the wizards in your CC head directly down the center of the base towards the amazing building that determines how many more or less stars you can get. Wait... Whats this... The wizzies go for seperate lvl 11 wall. Te raids over, You just lost your chance to get 8 stars but sadly, you only got 4!

Basically the troops are dumber then dirt. They all go for walls... Seperatly. They need an AI fix.

I hate it when this happens but it's part of the game.

The key is to understand the AI and how your troops select targets.

If the town hall really was "right in sight" she would have targeted it. The queen is one of the smartest AIs in my opinion because of her extraordinary range. You just placed badly :P

Had this happen and hate it, but if they made them smart like you wanted them they'd be op.

Sounds like a high lvl base design. The walls can throw the Heroes off completely. A lot of the latest popular designs are exceptional at doing this. The triangle one where the town hall is slightly high with wiz towers etc at the top is very hard to two star and quite popular at the moment. Come in from the top and you will get the town hall but it's under 40% damage so no two stars, come from the bottom you won't get the town hall, sides can cause the attack to flow down the bottom... it's all about timing. If you leave the heroes till last when eveything is destroyed they can go walking around instead of going in for the town hall. Best to dump em in the thick of the action shortly after breaching the walls.

What about the moment when a building is right in front of her and shoot past it? most of the time the ai is on key but sometimes it doesnt go as planned. and with people saying the pekkas ai is crazy bad, remember that it has the same ai as the barbarian

I have long wished you could micro manage troops, ie reset their targets....

There are not as usual, the queen is taking aim at breaking side walls !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe the troops aren't dumber than dirt but the person deploying them is? Live with it and learn how to place troops properly.

Well dirt just sits their and doesn't really do anything, troops at least walk around and do some damage..xD

If they made AI smarter, then everybody would 3 star YOUR base too. Offense is rather over powered already.

Offense is overpowered?!!!!!!

Uh. No. Not even close. Maybe with every troop maxed. Maybe. Otherwise. No way. Defense is way to string in this game.

It isn't always as cut and dry as that, you know that as much as you've played. Granted, a majority of time they do just what you think but what about when you place three archers in 'tap tap tap' seeing two go for the target but the third walking off to target something else when there was no need for the archer to deviate from the others?

Anyway ya in general the AI is pretty steady but there are those times we all have gone "Whuh??" as the troop takes a nice detour. I've placed my BK in front of a gold mine and watched where it deployed (right in front of mine but slightly back) then watched it decide to head to the barracks to the left even though it was placed mid center of the gold mine.

I think a big part of it is that some troops don't go straight line. Just watch heroes as they walk around before you attack, they're zigging and zagging instead of having a nice smooth circular motion around their pads.

IMO only.

That might happen but it's part of the game.

you obviously placed her wrong, archer queen has the best Artificial Intelligence.
