Default Re: OT - Dominions: Preists, Prophets & Pretenders

My complaint about arrows wasn't that shields and armor don't help against them. My complaint is that my archers keep shooting my own men in the back - I've seen quite a few fine men and beasts shot down by their own men. I want to be able to order my archers to only fire if they are certain they are not going to hit my own units.

Dominions tactical AI actually does an amazing job considering there are like 400 spells and hundreds upon hundreds more unit types, weapons, magic items, etc. However the friendly fire is a problem. I also see the AI isn't very good about avoiding poison gas clouds or walls of fire even created by its own units. If you have a hydra on your side, be sure to keep your own men away unless they can deal with poison gas...
