Think the king may be a bit far from home here!!

Ok so I read a post last week where a guy was complaining about the king chasing him around the entire base, he posted about it and everyone basically told him he was on crack. Well here is proof that the king indeed chased my hogs around the entire base, although I got a 98% it would have been 100%. Is this suppose to happen?

Heros only engage targets that are inside their ring. Once engaged, Heros will chase until target dies. That can be an awfully long. While it used to be that the ring centered in the hero, now it remains at their altar. Once disengaged, Heros will engage closest attacker inside that ring or return.

Heros should only engage targets that are inside their ring. Once engaged, Heros will chase until target dies. That can be an awfully long. Once disengaged, Heros will engage closest attacker then inside their ring.

Not true. After the update, a hero is supposed to disengage when the enemy troop moves out of range, killed or not. That's why luring has become a thing of the past. However, I can't say for sure how far a hero goes before retreating, but they DO retreat back now.

Same thing with me. Hero's are not suppose to leave there home.

Would a hero engage ranged troops attacking it from outside its radius? Would that explain this?

I can't make sense of it myself because sometimes they retreat sometimes they don't. I do know if u drop a troop and it attacks their pad while they are chasing hogs they will stop in their tracks and go back to defend it. Happend again today and so I sent in my king and sure enough defending king did a u turn. Hope someone has more knowledge on this because I still use hogs while farming for elixir and gold and would like to know the true reasoning to plan better. Hogs and healers are the new way for me now.
