Ok I know you devs want the AI to be smarter and all but I feel strongly that AI archers are assholes. Sorry for swearing but the fact that they target the weakest/lowest unit on health is not ok in my opinion. I want to save that unit's exp but nope the archer has to attack him. I'm curious did you as devs put this as their default target. Are their targets random? If they target specific units wouldn't it make sense though they attack the strongest unit.

I meant that, of course they have priorities (target, distance, type of target, etc.), but they do not target units in low health as a default.

Its just that by the time you NOTICE the unit it is the lowest unit on health.
They do tend to go after Light Infantry in preference to Heavy Infantry. I do not use Assault Infantry. Funny that with an HI barreling down on them (little tongue and cheek there) that they will change targets to a LI that comes into range. Doesn't make sense against Dwarfs, but it does against almost everybody else.
