Dumb Hero Movements: Smarter Hero Update Failure (Pics inside)

[ULTRAELITE]

I wonder if this is applying to troops too in general. Because mine like attacking walls despite my wallbreakers making complete openings for them on attacking bases. I've even seen my troops attacking a single wall while everything else is cleared almost!

If there was really anything I truly hated about this game, is the absolute incompetent A.I. My god, I'm at my worst right now in Elixir when it comes to raiding that my troops just cannot do the job. They're all 4-stars evenly each, yet they do more time bumbling around, getting shot at and killed than actually caring about doing damage. It's like I can't call upon them often unless the base is Bronze-League level. x.x

I shudder to think what it'd be like if I ever got a "Hero".

maybe it is something with the walls

maybe the update that has "all troops target same wall" messed something up

if not then its something, cause i still cant figure out why the BK did those movements

Here is a good example of dumb HERO AI

looks like the whole "smarter heroes" update was a failure

The pics Show my Barb King go passed a Gold Mine, Cannon, and Elixer Collector , just to kill an Archer Tower

♥♥♥ is this ♥♥?

Will try and get some answers for you on Monday, if not earlier.

I agree it is stupid but there is some logic to it. Barb king targeted archer tower as next thing to attack the wall in front was a higher level to break into the compartment than the one on the side. So he went for the easiest way to break into the compartment. I have found once they have a target they will not change until it is destroyed no matter how detrimental to their health it is.

I dumped a king king to clean up a gold mine and storage he took the mine then ignored the storage and tried to break through a lvl 9 wall to get to defending aq. I only wanted the gold dammit.

The he archer queen on further up is definitely ♥♥♥♥♥♥ed though.

Here is my understanding.

The archer tower was closer to the king than the gold mines/cannon, so he targeted it, but didn't destroy any of the buildings on his way there. Hero AI targets closest building, but ignores the smarter moves, like destroying others first.

Then explain the post with the AQ. That happens a lot, and there's absolutely no logical explaination for that behaviour.

That one is confusing. I can't explain that, and as far as I know, it's just an AI bug that needs to be fixed.

I already disproved that theory on page 2

if he target the archer tower cause it was "closest"
then technically he should have targeted the Dark Elixer Drill next to it before even approaching the archer tower

if he was targeting closest buildings he would have target the dark elixer mine and not the archer tower.

I had originally dropped him by the windmill and he made his way around. The Dark Elixer drill would have been target if it was a "closest" target issue
