I have an irrational phobia of Bogus and company. If I see them I leave them alone. I have lost too many armies to that @##$%#

in MP, stealing the attack commander order would be thought an exploit

Don't attack them - they're tough, and its easy to be wrong on whether you have the right army for them...

Many people have done it thou...

Leave them until you have charm spell. Then put together a few mages with bodyguards(by bodyguards I mean a 20-40 strong army of), then charm them.

You gain them as thugs, with all magic items and can save the attack commander/fire at commander orders using ctrl-number. So all your forces can be scripted with that command.

You should now win easily...

I hereby declare using the 'Attack Commander'/'Fire Commander' orders on any LlamaServer game to be cheating. Definitely an exploit.

Unfortunately there's no way to identify if someone is using the 'attack commander' or 'fire at commander'. Perhaps a future patch will change the orders of any commander after it's been stolen.

If they fly directly at the commander, or shoot at it, instead of at pd, its a pretty good indication, unless there is a special thing about the commander (only flier, very big). At that point, its worth investigating.

I am happy to hear this. I totally agree.

I suppose you consider it an exploit only when you copy-paste the "attack commander" order into some other unit that is not intended to do that.
If you managed to charm a Dark Night you sure earned the right to use him as he was intended. Or you think it's an exploit to use a charmed DK to attack commanders?

[llamabeast]

Using him as intended sounds reasonable. It's the copy-paste that is clearly naughty.
