Then AI proceeds to literally throw EVERYTHING it has at the target of its obsession despite having other (better) targets. Play [[Dragon Slayer]] campaign, see the stacks of dragons ALWAYS ganging up on one specific unit, and you will understand, it's easier to show than explain. In the same campaign you can literally kite/shoot legions of Nagas and Naga Queens to death because they keep chasing Master Genies. In endgame battles AI often sends its 7th level hard hitters like Archangels or Gold/Black Dragons at... Ammo Cart. Or First Aid Tent. I've seen memes about this already. It's just the quirk of Heroes 3 combat AI, it exists, it can be used, so it WILL be used, and it should be known - [[User:Fafner|Fafner]] ([[User talk:Fafner|talk]]) 12:30, 14 April 2021 (UTC) | Been away for some time and found the decoy trick section edited in a way that pointed to 1) the editor not being native English speaker or 2) the editor not really understanding how it works.
