Circling the drain: anyone noticed an AI change?

Oh, the pathing and targeting definitely changed in the last update. SuperCell announced changes to valk positioning and how the AI decides when and where to break walls. The only question is whether there were a few other subtle tweaks as well causing this new behavior.

If you can't see the difference it means you were never paying attention.. No one is saying you can't hit drills and pumps.. Those of us who notice hit more than outer buildings.

One thing I would say about CoC in general, not even counting this new apparent change, is that it's a game about overcoming your army's own extreme stupidity.

But "knowing" how to attack does little good when troops be flat out dumb and act in ways that can only be nicely called questionable/inconsistent but most likely is program AI manipulation. An example.... before the update I could use wizards and giants to hit core defenses. Now, despite clearing surrounding buildings, getting a wizard to follow the giants into the core is nearly impossible. What is worse, as wizards are placed they show the target of where it is headed, and I'll place one that is going to where I'd like it to go, and then drop other wizards at the same spot only to see they target outside buildings that are actually further away. I guess if supercell wanted attacking to be overly frustrating they have truly succeeded. But imo, the worse troop AI manipulation of all is a toss up between wall breakers and healers..
