| Author | Undermine and AI avoiding them |
|---|
I think that if you place a goblin wrecker undermine adjacent to an enemy stack, the mine is visible to the enemy player that can act accordingly.
But how does the AI behave? Now in several battles I noticed that the AI troop stepped into the mine without any care, just to move in the direction of my stacks even without the possibility to reach any of them
Another, related question: when the AI stack has to move in part diagonally, can you predict if it moves first horizontally (or vertically) and then diagonally or viceversa? | I think that if you place a goblin wrecker undermine adjacent to an enemy stack, the mine is visible to the enemy player that can act accordingly.
This is not true, your opponent can't see a mine placed by gremlin wreckers unless he steps in it. As such, the AI cannot see it either so it steps on the mine.

Yes it always moves the same way so you can predict, but I don't know an exact rule, I can just tell from experience. For example, if you have a speed 4 creature that wants to move three tiles to the right and two tiles down, it will move 1 tile to the right and then diagonally move south-east twice. | For example, if you have a speed 4 creature that wants to move three tiles to the right and two tiles down, it will move 1 tile to the right and then diagonally move south-east twice.
Summerizing: Straight, then diagonal always at the end, except if there is an obstacle that provokes the stack to forcibly have to go diagonal, and then straight.

Trying to mine shrews for exemple, I can say that sometimes when they don't go through a straightline, they might avoid the mine when going to strike but step on it when returning. | This is not true, your opponent can't see a mine placed by gremlin wreckers unless he steps in it.

Ah ok, I thought it was working as the Invisibility ... thx
About the pattern, this is what I observed so far (but my experience is limited, this is why I asked). Also the shrews returning on a pattern of opposite logic is something that I have maybe observed ... not sure ... I will pay more attention in the future.
For the moment I think that the question is answered and the topic can be closed | | closed by pippo4 (2018-04-10 17:04:26) |
