Dangerous but stupid foes? (spoiler warning)

Ugaya · 09-14-2001, 06:40 AM

Is it only my impression that even the most dangerous (and intelligent) opponents (liches, flayers, good old Jon himself etc.) exhaust themselves (esp. their spells) by attempting to kill summoned kobolds first while my fighters stand nearby and enjoy the view? Obviously there's a routine "attack the nearest enemy first and ignore the rest". IMHO one of the very few flaws in SoA, a tempting one.

Demons have decent AI. They actually bother to attack those at the back frequently. Beholders too. Mind Flayers do sometimes cast Psionics at the back row, sometimes.

If not a Sorcerer casting total oblivion, then a Paladin meting out justice. Otherwise, I think I will just be a bard and torture my enemies with, "My Heart Will Go On".

I agree. Some have decent AI that attacks only the mages!!!
New Dragons in ToB is supposed to do that!
