    I haven't noticed as I don't use Juggs & Brutes anymore, I did notice he favoured a smaller group of Skellies in one of my last battles.

    I noticed; he wandered away from my HG's to cover a gunner in the corner. I think he is dating Annabelle and her bad habits are rubbing off on him...

    Yea I just had him turn & follow 2 Bombers while leaving a tight group of over 20 crew haha (have the replay if anyone likes to see it), looks like the WD fiasco continues.

    Yep, that's the return to the pre-1.9 AI.

    I guess "cured" is in the eye of the beholder... I will just have to figure out exactly how he works over again; I started the game just as the last AI change was happening.

    It's not the very same, he still turns back to my Skellies after I have first dropped him with my Bombers, once they're through the walls I drop Skellies, he then turns & goes down to them.

    I'm having such bad luck now--have to trying my whole attack strategy. Again.

    No way is he cured. ROFL. He will follow 1 gunner now! Numerous times already I have seen him run to 1 outtwr gunner just destroying buildings away from the actual heat of the battle. Unreal...

    It's funny really, every single time we get used to his AI they go & change it haha.

    I think we will adapt back to the way he was. At least until the next tweak.

    Is it really that hard to make him cover the largest group of pirates??

    Leave my 2HG alone and go to search for corner/outskirt 1 gunner to follow.
    Later when we used to his current style I'm afraid Midoki will change his UI again =.=
    So shall we still feedback ? ,>.<

    With the devices we're compatible with, yes unfortunately. Constantly calculating and defining what is a group, density of moving troops in a defined area, when it stops being a group, etc is very intensive (particularly when we're having to factor in behaviour as a lone WD and as a WD in a group of 8 WDs), and there's only so much we can do whilst we're supporting lower end devices such as iPhone 4s.

    He hops over walls to get to his target, he's always been able to do this. ;)

    I think we'll be leaving the WD alone for now.

    This WD ai is far better than the disaster that had been for far too long since he was tweaked. The lone gunner issue happened but was rare. And, quite frankly, I had a much harder time with the tweaked ai and lone troop issue, with the WD running off to protect the lone jugg on the perimeter. So both ais had lone troop issues. Positive side is he stayed with the troops you deployed him with by and large and didn't rush to the heat of battle and get slaughtered whilst reading the pants label on the juggs' arses, snuffing out it seconds. And, you could protect your gunners who needed the protection far more than the tanks and meat shields. Pretty stupid sending in body guards to guard the body guards. So kudos to midoki for finally switching back! Shows they are listening, even if it took a LONG time to implement.

    We won't mind if AI was fixed for all but 4S devices. XD

    The Witch doctor is far from cured, in at least 3 of my battles today he was released with a group, only to run over 10 squares away to the lone gunner clearing that hadn't taking any damage. Thanks for the fix I guess. :rolleyes:
