Best example so far of "Dancing Force" Icons
Posted: Wed Nov 28, 2007 5:58 am
Here is a PERFECT example of the "dancing force" icons with screen shot goodness.
First, Price is attacking Lyon in St. Louis, MO and is already in the region from his attack last turn. During the Supply stage Price's dance goes as follows: St. Louis, Belleville IL., St. Louis, Belleville. After he stops "dancing" the first day is processed and he attacks but when he attacks his icon is in Belleville but that is NOTHING. Check out this screenshot. Look underneath the battle results page...yup, that is our boy Price about 5 regions south while he is in the middle of an assault up in St. Louis that started in Belleville and ended up only God knows where, lol
It took a while to find him because I scrolled to map while the results were still up to see if he was still in Belleville but he wasn't. Went to St. Louis, nope not there either. Went west couldn't find him. Finally go south and there he is.
EDIT: This is just a test scenario that I am not actually playing as I would. I am just trying to find suicide attacks by the AI that others have posted. What I have found is nothing as severe as others but the odds in this scenario for the attacking AI force is common. Every turn the Army of the Potomoc hs been attacked while entrenching more every turn and outnumbering the attacking AI probably 3-2 and better with every attack yet they come back for more each turn so far while I am a 2-1 favorite in strength in this one. Not the 2-3 to 1 odds that was recommended for attacking forces at the time. In fact, it seems the AI has it backwards. If severely outnumbered by 2-3 to 1 attack at all costs seems to be the AI motto.
