ai_special=guardian
Does anybody know if there's a way to get ai_special=guardian back to it's pre 0.7.7 behaviour. I have these guards, I want them to stay in their towers. . .

The new behaviour
The new behaviour is good, just different. maybe we could get an ai_special=sentry to make a unit just sit there and patiently await his doom. . .

The Difference. . .
In 7.6 a unit assigned as a guardian would stay put until a foe came near, then it would jump the foe. Now it cruses to a nearby village, then waits. While a perfectly sensable behaviour, the old behaviour had the charm of being able to place a unit on a lone keep square, and just have it stand there looking all cool and menacing and whatnot.
Oh, (1) is there a list of ai_special values somewhere? (2) I like how the commander in the keep actually has survival instincts now, but a: no, go back to being dumb and wait for your death flag would be nice. maybe ai_special=sentry . hint. hint.

except please don't tab over passive_leader=yes. we need consistency. you should only tab over if it is a new tag inside a tab.Dave wrote:DavidCode: Select all

This problem with ai_special=guardian should now be fixed.
