[Bug/or 0.75 change?] Webbed missile units do not use ranged attack, skip turn

from Elemental Forums

Definitely brood archers are affected, and I believe the archers in the Freeriders camp from the Dragon Eye quest as well.  Can't recall if other missile troops were also affected.

Also, webbed spell-casters don't cast any spells (though they will continue casting a spell they've started casting) and no units will use their special ability.  So melee units will use a normal attack against adjacent units, but they will not use any special attack ability such as Crushing Blow or Cleave (but includes all special melee abilities, and ranged abilities are out too to ranged units like regular attacks are).

This is a bug in the AI that has been around forever.  Only happens with AI controlled units.

You never know, with one more mention - some things don't get fixed for ages and then one more mention catches the devs' eyes, and it gets fixed. =)

True dat.  I'll bump this thing til it's black-n-blue.

Definitely a fairly significant issue.
