[1.02] AI silliness: Web attacks target non-melee troops

from Elemental Forums

Webbing archers is a waste of a perfectly good web attack! :P

Most times... now the archer cannot kite. ;)

True, Parrotmath, but Marvin has a point when the battle is just beginning and it would be better for the webber to immobilize a nearby melee unit.  It would also be nice if the AI would then not place a unit adjacent to a webbed unit while attacking a non-webbed unit if possible.  Why would you subject your unit to an unnecessary attack?

Same thing with beguiling missile weapon troops/heroes/sovs...

I agree with you, that's why I said most times. It would be nice if the AI utilized the move / action feature. Namely Black Widow moves closer and webs when there are missle troops. The move / action needs to be reworked for most tatical AI battles.
