Soldiers cannot follow orders
« on: October 25, 2010, 09:24:10 pm »
I want them to attack this giant mozzie, but they won't because for some reason; They cannot follow orders.

What's all this hocus pocus about?

Ordering soldiers to kill something is unreliable and mostly broken.  They're trying to path to it, but pathfinding to a creature doesn't work well, so they can't follow orders.  Order them to move to somewhere near it and hope they decide to kill it instead.

Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex... It takes a touch of genius --- and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction.
