[Anonymous Player]

I am not sure if this is a feature that is missing, but it appears to be a feature that ought to be included or developed.

[Denikin_Tsar]

I would like my units to auto-raid.

Like I just click the “raid- button” and then they will go across the map avoiding all defensive structures and enemy units that they can’t easily kill, find a gap in the enemies walls, go in start killing vils while also avoiding defenses and enemy units.

If there are too many enemy units they retreat to a safe location and then raid again after a few minutes.

Seems like it’s a feature that should be available/added.

This is called “micro”

You can queue which units to attack.

Select your group, hold shift, and click on the untis or structures you’d like to attack.

Could maybe work as an added feature in single player only…

To be honest it would turn into a different game, but a little more AI in the units could be cool.

Nothing complex, just stuff like ‘I’d like my siege only shoot buildings’

This is not mobile game bro

I believe (noob here myself) that the pros use the stand ground setting on units and that allows a few advantages:

– units do not attack unless told to, meaning they won’t run under castles/defenses when you aren’t looking.
– units won’t start attacking whatever they collide with, meaning you can focus specific targets even when the enemy has a meat shield
– apparently you can shift click to send units to attack in a specific order

Some cons for us noobs though are that they won’t be effective in combat unless we are microing them.

These intricacies raise the skill cap of the game, and is generally seen as a hallmark of AoE2.

You can you just have to micro it…but making how you want it will destroy aspects and strategies of the game such as using rams to soak up arrow/scorpion fire

Would be awesome if you could auto-game!

For example, I’d like my Town Center to have a button that if I click when the game begins it will auto-play, know when to build villagers, where to assign each based on resource consumption, also build stuff, create military units and battle till the end, also know when to auto-surrender and not waste time.

Is this a feature I am not seeing?

Seems like it’s a feature that should be available/added.

I am still surprised this feature has not been implemented
