True, there is that as well.

Another option, which was one of my inspirations for the stacking

one unit, but have the HP and attack power of several. Though it doesn't
help you if you want more units to make slipping through them harder.

This was also a mistake I made early on. You can use other factors to
provide challenge as an alternatively to just numbers, such as higher hit
points and regeneration, or each attack doing more damage. Either of

solutions scale much better than unit numbers.

Damn. I personally thought that more units = more fun on my part, that's
part of the reason why I added so many. Also for the challenge.
I'll keep that in mind though, thank you.

You can use inheritance to make a whole group of units have flagsthinking.

Set the sight range on enemy units so it's fairly high, perhaps
between
7 and 10, so that they can see the king before he sees them; That
should help you a bit. Though that's only part of the problem, I am
I feel like another of your problems might be that you just have too
many units on these maps. For example escape from hell has over 100
units on it alone, and in a space that's 25 by 25 that's probably too
many. You're going to experience serious lag unless you make all the
enemies wait but since you still mostly have open space, you don't
want that either, I suppose. It's difficult to hear, but you might
have to cut that number down to like 50 or 60. But try the sight range
stuff first, and if that fails you will probably have o cut down the
unit numbers just to make the turn wait time manageable.

Hello,
Is it possible to make a flag for maps that works similar to the
ai_wait_until_enemy_in_sight flag for units? This way, we won't have
to put that flag on each individual unit on one map.
I know you can do it for units, but there are some instances where
that's not necessarily the best choice.
For example, I can understand the flag working when you've got them
in different rooms and whatnot, because why bother having them act
then?
It's pointless, unless they're summoning or something. But when they
are separated by terrain that their enemies can't pass but they can,
then it makes more sense for them to follow their allies when they're
moving towards the enemies that said allies can see.
I think that makes sense, but eh...is it just me?
