VLT - suicide mistake?

[Ma_Baker]

Hi,

Noticed some odd behaviour on the camp with 150 Royal Bowmen / 30 Royal Horse.

I was ls-buyer in a vlt and sent my Nusula to RR but got intercepted by this camp. The result was having killed 34 (I think) Bowmen..
Both bowmen & horse have 40 hit points... but i would expect the horse to get attacked first?

Not sure if it qualifies as an actual bug, or if it even is a problem at all... but seems odd really.

Sorry no screencapt

Has anyone else experienced something similar? Ma_Baker - if you run it again, let us know the results!

Why *would* you expect that?

Units are now listed in camps according to the order they will be attacked barring special attacks (Flanking).
Since both units are the "weakest" I think ability will default to normal attacking order in which Royal Bowmen are attacked before Royal Horse. Call it alphabetical order (B before H) or due to indexing of units we aren't privy to or something. But all enemies have a defined order which they are attacked.

But it's been doing that like forever AFAICT. If you send Vargus or Drac they should hit bowmen too since they are prioritized over horse.

Yes.
I have suicided my MMAs into that particular camp several times and Bows always die before Cavalry.
