Enemy dragons are acting weird and dont attack me for no reason 0_o
[URL=http://www.radikal.ru][/URL]
Look at the picture of a battle i just had. I just blinded the dragon standing next to my devils and then suddenly the second stack of them refused to attack me although he could do it easily. They were just standing still in front of me staring at my troops and doing nothing for many turns.
Can some1 explain me, what could cause this?

Maybe this is just another kind of the blind trick? Maybe the blind trick is far more complicated than we used to think it is.

I think AI wants to attack with the 286 Stack, to minimize losses. But it doesnt see it is not able to pass...

-Did they attack you if you changed locations?
-Did they attack you if you attacked them?
-Are any other Dragons Blinded? I'm guessing you just casted slow and one resisted.
-What Salamandre asked.

I honestly dont remember the complete log of this battle, but IIRC i used slow, 2 drags resisted and one had good morale so they killed my fairy dragon (you can see his body)and hited devils twice. On turn 2 i blinded 1 of them and then the other one moved one step back and this started. Then i used all possible buffs on devils (bless, bloodlust, slayer and so on) and killed all dragons by using a hit-n-run tactics. That weird stack of dragons was standing still till the end, even when i attacked them (the same hit-n-run) they kept skipping their turns.

You got some strong Area spell, right? AI fears them.

So far there are some unexplained AI behavior I noticed. One battle I can hide behind a monster without retaliation and weak him to low numbers then use attack and return on others, he will not move and others can't attack. In another battle, as soon as a stack which attacks me is weak, it will move and let the place for stronger ones. So the code looks correct but it may have some leak inside, due to specific conditions, battle location, spell applied, forces present, hard to say.
Beside, if AI did not have leaks in code, we couldn't win most of maps. Hopefully is acting dumb sometimes then we can show screen about how smart we are.
