Default Re: Dominions II Bug Thread

More of a tactical AI exploit than a bug, but I don't think it's intended behavior.

While expanding with Pangaea, I've come to have 3 bodies of troops led by a centaur. Javeliners on one flank, centaurs on the other, and the starting satyrs a bit forward of the default position.

I then put the White Centaur alone in the front center to get a better shot, and was surprised to see independent archers target him (and mostly miss), while ignoring the juicy javeliners. This was strange to me, as the tactical AI doesn't seem to be fooled by lone units as it was in Dom 1.

This implies to me that you can still use cheap leaders to distract the tactical AI targetting routines, which would be easily abused with scouts.
