Description
6.3+ compatible

Have you ever felt yourself more a baby tender than a commander because your units stop doing what they were doing and go smoking every 5 seconds for CA knows what reason? If yes - this mod is for you.

It helps your units with one simple thing - following orders
If one was ordered to attack, the unit will continue to attack until there is no one to attack.
If one was ordered to stay - he will stay

- automatically attack nearby targets from idle mode if last command from player was to attack
- will not attack if guard mode is enabled

there is also a bit of logic implemented
- units prefer to attack same target as before they gone idle unless it is shattered
- ranged units will attack same target if its in their range
- active units preferred over routing or shattered ones
- routing ones preferred over shattered
- new: units attacking shattered targets will change to another target if there is more than 4 active enemy units left and current target is not a character

if you see any inconsistencies or something can be improved - let me know, but basic purpose of the mod - to handle idle states giving you time for more important decisions

The is few MCT (Mod Configuration Tool) options, so check it out! To persist changes should be made in campaign

How to do basic debug
1. Get the 'Script Debug Activator' mod
2. Enable debug mode in MCT settings of a mod
3. Reproduce the problem, look for the log files in WH3 rood directory
4. See if logs contains any "SCRIPT ERROR" lines

Update 09/02/2025
Weights system added, helping better decide which target should unit attack from idle state
- Units should prefer closer enemies, or those over which they have a speed advantage
- Now they should split between enemies more evenly
- Units got a chance to change target that is shattered and have higher speed

Mods compatibility
- Compatible with AI General 3

Can you modify it so our troops automatically attack structures like walls, guard towers,..., instead of going around them to attack the enemy using another path?

游戏的编队攻击有BUG,他不听指令,他在攻击B,我让他攻击A,他还是去攻击B,希望CA修复一下

Used this mod for quite a while now and like others are saying, recent patches seem to mess around with it.

Units keep ignoring orders until i tell them like 20 times to go somewhere or attack something else and often they still go back to attacking something nearby, no matter how often i tell them to get off that unit/lord/hero.

You can really feel the difference when having used this mod for a couple hundred hours.

Im not using Guard Mode or Skirmish Mode by default.

Generally i only use Guard Mode when i want units to sit outside a siege or keep a certain position, not with units im commanding around the battlefield.

Units also seem to get models stuck into enemies way more often now instead of simply running away.

I'll check it

Feels like this mod has not been working as well as it used to be since 6.3
LikeABith Oct 14 @ 3:59pm 
No I always make sure to check that off. I probably have some other mod incompatibility
Deo  [author] Oct 13 @ 10:30pm 
hi, may be you have guard mode enabled?

Anybody else struggling to get this mod to work lately? My units just sit there and take missile fire without doing anything
