One of the changes in this update reads "Attacking troops will now engage defending troops from further away"
Can someone explain me what does that exactly mean? Can you put some examples?
I just did an attack in war and used some archers to kill a dragon from a lured CC. I dropped the archers VERY close to the dragon, but still they ignored the dragon and decided to attack some building even if they were further away than the dragon. What am I missing?
I think this refers to the behavior that happens when a friendly troop is attacked by a CC troop. They increased the distance troops will walk to help friendly troops under attack by CC troops.
it means exactly what it states, you just might not notice yet.
Mmm... Still this sounds confusing to me. For "attacking troops" I understand the ones of the player who attacks, and for "defending troops" the ones in CC, am I wrong? So what you say doesn't make many sense to me... But, still, maybe I'm wrong.Quote:

Let me rephrase my post using your terminology:Quote:

What I'm trying to say is that the change doesn't really help when trying to get your troops to engage defending troops. That is an AI related issue, nothing to do with distance troops engage defending troops.
But if for example the BK is attacking a wall and a nearby troop gets hit by some archers, then BK will engage the archers from further away now (before he would ignore the archers if too far away).
I understand what you mean, I think. Maybe the problem is that English is not my first language...Quote:

That was my question when I saw that.....only tried penta once and that was after the aggro reduction. Needless t say a massive failure.Quote:
