I don't know if other troops without a favorite target do this too, but I was just on a DE hunt and dropped my King about 4 tiles away from a DE storage, which was behind a wall. Instead, the king walked about 10 tiles to an exposed gold mine. What the...
So the AI for the king (and maybe other troops?) is to go after something exposed and not the nearest thing if it's behind a wall? I dropped my archers and barbs in the same place and they went right at the DE storage.
What gives?
If you have a barbarian you should drop it first to see what it targets, the King should then target the same if dropped at the same point where the barbarian was dropped
I have noticed that the BK will tend to go for buildings outside of walls. Maybe this is because everyone was complaining about him just hitting walls for "no reason". I always clear everything on the side of the base before putting him in. Or open the wall first with a WB.
Barbs and Kings will go for nearest exposed building up to around 15 tiles away. If there are no buildings that close, they will go for nearest wall to nearest enclosed building.
What would King Target ifrån nerest enclosed building is 20 Times away and nerest Free building 25 Tiles?
The free building 25 tiles away, because 5 tiles isn't much.Quote:

BK has no favorite target. Clear outside before deploy him, or he will circle the base.
