Well, flying units set to Fire, will walk rather than fly, to get closer. AFAIK, the only reason they would just keep walking forward to melee, is if the first unit in the squad didn't have a ranged weapon.

Though I have seen isolated (rare) incidents of exotic units ignoring Fire commands, and rushing to melee. It tends to be very expensive and frustrating, that's for sure. I wonder if there could be anything about the Zmey that might actually help JK finally find that bug?


Re: Lady of Fortune..... there is the slight chance that the info in the DB is outdated or incorrect. It's an offchance, but sometimes small changes don't get noticed immediately (especially involving units that people rarely use), so it's possible. I've used her before though and never noticed anything out of the ordinary. Maybe I'll poke Edi and see what he thinks - though he gets ornery when poked.

The effect is thematic, so I'm not sure why it would be changed or removed between versions. It might never have been there at all, but that begs the question 'why is it in the db?' If it is a genuine effect of the unit, it's pretty subtle anyway. A small chance of an extra lucky event (likely taken from those allowed by the province's luck scale) would be pretty hard to notice anyway.

FWIW, the Lord of Plenty has the same special listed in the db.
