Retreating Fighters?

Thai curry, Mmmm Mmmm! Masaman is my favorite.


I would have expected the 'Fighter Attack' strategy to work fine. Have you changed it at all? Maybe try 'Optimal firing range' - that ones worked ok for me in the past.

My understanding is for unit groups, each unit uses the strategy set for that design.

To change it you have to select the design in the designs window and hit 'Set Strategy'.

If the fighter group is in a fleet the Task Force Strategies will override the design strategies - they do for ships anyway. You set them in the fleet transfer window by selecting the task force. This is the only way I know of to make a ship or unit use a different strategy than the one set for its design.

Man, I don't know what's happing then. It's happened in 2 sep. games thus far. Ah well, I'll keep trying to figure out the cause.

Also, looks like my gametype is huge due to the empires folder (lots of shipset downloads). Can I simply leave that out of the zip file? Again, I'm new to understanding all of this.

Only include the AI files if you've changed them. The default strategies could have something to do with it.
