When I set my units to auto-explore, one of their favorite things to do is walk right up to a huge enemy many times more powerful than they are and get into a battle that they can't run away from. This makes auto-explore essentially useless.
This. in particualr to maybe why the ai does what froggy highlighted in his recent video about bugs in the ai. Could the ai be locked in and "auto-explore mode" and gets itself killed ? i would imagine the 2 phenomenon are related.
I never use auto explore so i can't say anything about - although i would expect an exploring unit to have a highly developed sense of chickenness and stay away from enemies - and at some point give a message report saying its run out of safe areas to explore.
