    It wasn’t intentional; it was a bug, and it’s already been hotfixed.

    Funny.
    I saw nachos (beautiful nickname) waiting before feast so many times that i think it is a feature to do feast more realistic and to grant player a chance to kill them.

    A bit of a small one. As you can see in the image the Goblin Pike Skirmisher started on hex 0, footwork’d to 1, and ran away to 4.

    So, why did he make this inefficient move? Perhaps he tried to footwork into an attacking position, but didn’t consider that he was down 2 elevation from his target? Either way, a pretty non-issue example which may or probably won’t expose a larger issue.

    P.S. Yeah, Jason. Though I do feel that monkeys are some of the easier enemies. I like them waiting before feasting, but I do feel I can bully them a bit. They’re incredibly fun to fight, however, because they force you to consider placement in a different way. So much fun <3

    Does Spiders ignoring “web” skill in a fight versus a dog is intended?

    Spiders love to spam webs vs humans, but don’t web dogs. It seems inconsistent, but may be tied to balance to prevent a dog spam.

    From battle *feel* POV they *should* use webs.

    2h axe thug seems to think ‘I will move one tile to axe this feller’, but when he reaches his destination changes his mind and tries to move to another tile (and gets a pitchfork through his gut).

    Necromaner’s guards AI was changed? Can’t say that it is better now – necromancer open for archers and his “guards” do stranges moves now – 1 step forward to battle 1 sted back to necromancer but at that same moment do not act in battle and do not cover necromancer

    they are trying to engage a bro with the Fangshire (Heimrad) but end up doing weird back and forth movement

    That fallback algorith is a bit lacking.
    If a young rallies, it will kill the bro.
    If the bro rallies, it will kill the orc

    So, why are they running together for 2 turns like a lovers?

    Alps don’t care about their safety and forgo it, just to spam some more nightmares on the player, winch is stupid.
    Imho, self defense should be hither in their priority. As zerker in charge/jump range and it is effectively ignored.

    The battle:

    Tactical setup. Orcs are ignored.

    Zerker is effectively ignored, wich allows it to kill 5 alps and take No damage in return.

    The end

    AI bugs out if there are LOS blokers and it has a reach weapon.

    It was doing this movement for 3 consecutive turns.
    Log is attached for the first turn. (last model acting)
