''If a stack of units strong enough to survive a Dragon's single attack stands at the <span style="color:red">red hex</span>, and another, weaker stack of units (that can die to a single attack by the Dragon) stands at either of the <span style="color:orange">orange hexes</span>, the Dragon will attack from either of the sets of <span style="color:green">green hexes</span>, but ''will not burn the unit on the <span style="color:red">red hex</span>''. AI believes this attack will trigger the Breath attack reaction, but it does not. ''

I don't believe this description of this exploit to be accurate and complete, but I left it because there are indeed some scenarios where the AI incorrectly assesses it's attack options, such as the example in this video:

The problems with the description here are:

- it's simply not correct that the AI will attack this troop configuration as described, usually it will attack from the top left or bottom left, not the green hexes, and it will hit the centre stack just fine. What the exact circumstances are to trigger the exploit, I don't know, but there is more to it than this.

- the description states that 'Fire breath does not work when attacking vertically on the creatures on the right side of the attacked unit.', which is false, or at least, not always true. See the updated in depth breath attack breakdown for details.
