Hey, I have a suggestion for an AI change for the dragon. I noticed this when I attacked with dragons and the dragons all focused on the pekka and king while the air defense just crushed them, can you make an update so the dragon doesn't attack what can't attack itself. So cc archers the dragon would target but not barbarians. No ground troops where alive at the time. Thanks for reading, I hope this is introduced.
Basically you're requesting to change the Dragon into a flying Giant that primarily focusses on Air Defense, Archer Tower, Wizard Tower, Hidden Tesla and Inferno Tower. That would be way to overpowered... An army of 12 level 5 Dragons (TH10) would easily take down any TH9 and most of the TH10's.
On top of that, your request would make the Dragon almost useless as a defender in the Clan Castle. Barbarians, Giants, Hogs, Golems,... attacking your village would all be ignored by the 'defending' Dragon.
No to pretty much everything you said, loons are like air giants. What I'm saying is the dragon doesn't target troops/royals for no reason. No ground troops alive, drag right next to an air def, so is pekka, drag goes for pekka, and the drag dies from air defense. I never said anything about changed the dragons favorite target or anything.Quote:

I just find it very annoying for a dragon to target a pekka when no ground troops are alive right next to an air defense.Quote:

There it is, like always: "Maybe if you didn't suck, it wouldn't be a problem." HOW HELPFUL!Quote:

I don't believe for a second that every single person who has used a lot of dragon attacks HASN'T seen them "just happen" to dance around archer towers, being pelted the entire time... I understand the frustration.
Thanks, I'm glad I'm not the only one frustrated about this.Quote:

But ColonelAwesome was right too ... if dragons are launched correctly you can pass trough the town hall for example ...
To use a troop effectively, you need to be familiar with the A.I of the troop, meaning you need to understand what the specific troop's favorite target is. A Dragon will target the nearest structure, meaning if their closer to a BK by the TH, they're going to destroy him because he was closer. The Dragon will only attack other enemy troops if the Dragon is being attacked by them, or if enemy troops are attacking other friendly troops near it . Ex; You have a dragon helping to destroy a structure with a few ground troops near it. A Pekka is defending, and attacks one of the ground troops near the Dragon. The Dragon is going to attack the troop that is attacking the closest friendly troop.
The A.I doesn't need to be changed, just keep these basic statistics in mind in order to effectively use the Dragon.
