I am sure I'm not the first one to post about this. But I still think I need to.
The UP 1.4 patrol is definitely different from the old patrol. Even from the one in Gameranger AOFE.
When the patrol order is given to the units towards the enemy, instead of attacking once the enemy is within line of sight, the units take a trip back. It made me want to scream watching my kts parade in front of xbows with ballistics. I'm sure had i just used the right click i would have taken that fight. It was not just one trip running back and forth. Several units continued doing that during the fight.
That does not happen in 1.0c or GR AOFE patrol. Players do what they are used to and with UP 1.4 they're in for a rude shock. Besides the "hitting buildings" problem there is the problem of units "parading in front of the enemy's nose" instead of fighting. This defeats the whole purpose of patrolling.
I asked my friends playing if they have encountered such things. And they said yes. It is agreed upon by many that UP 1.4 patrol sux.
Please fix it if you can. It is not an improvement from the old patrol. I don't care what scripter said before. You know it's not when you play the same way you do and your army dies instead of winning like it should.
