Well said. Since the AI always just charges forward, I can always position my units so that I'll be hitting first. When defending, the AI should go for defensive terrain or some other benefit, not charge mindlessly forward if there's no reason for it because of archery / abilities.

You feel like your playing your lil brother?  What a troll.  Hey, pathetic boy, SD created a great game so if you don't know how to actually get the best value out of it please don't go around trolling and smearing a great game!

Tard.

It's not archers that would help, you could just build your own archers and slaughter the AI's on the attack. What it could use is some planning, at the moment it's tactics seem to be limited to beelining for a given unit. It'd be nice to see it understand numbers, so when outnumbered it would head to the +defence squares, when it outnumbers you then maybe swarm the weak units ahead in the hope you spend so much time whacking them it's big hitters get to charge and attack next turn.

What I love is if you have a bunch of summoned Giants, the AI will of course try to go around them, but if you spread them out, put them in a line but a space between each one, the AI will try to go /through/ them.

What I -hate- is the screwed up initial deployments.  For some reason, when you have a lot of units, especially in city defense, a number of your units will be by themselves right next to the enemy, AND several of your units will be plopped on the same square.   I have to learn to move all my heroes out of a city first or they get clobbered.
