Why do our units have to counter attack their own side?

October 20, 2012 8:38:03 AM from Elemental ForumsElemental Forums

So Jack and John have been friends for years even join the army together.

During one battle Jack who has been beguiled takes a swing and due to the magic accidentally hit John.

John looks to his friend and says "Jack as much as I like you having been friends for years you know the rules.  Because I have a sword I must now hit you instead of saving my counter attack for that spider."

John has always been a jerk to Jack, thus John had a knee-JERK reaction.

me·lee

1   [mey-ley, mey-ley, mel-ey] 
1. A confused hand-to-hand fight or struggle among severalpeople.
2. Confusion; turmoil; jumble: the melee of Christmas shopping.

The interface we see is very orderly, but it is merely representational. In truth, melee is a wild event leading to friendly kills. Adding magic to melee is a recipe for chaos.

exactly.  people who train to fight will sometimes just react as they've practiced, especially if their adrenaline is way up and they're already in fight mode.
