Unit Movement

This site explains how units decide to act.

Decision

Chooses randomly any of these possibilities: , if none remains the unit does not move (e.g. stands still on tile where it was spawned)

• Archery-units will not move to an enemy when they can attack them.
• Melee units attack when their on the same tile as the target.
• No unit will attack a town-center while there are still other buildings in the town (this makes town-centers kind of invincible).
• It seems like the unit will redecide after each action.
• It seems like the unit will never go a town-center as long as there are other possibilities.
• Enemy-gods will not be attacked unless you set Command on them.
