Autocast, autoattack

Post by MrLich »

Its just small rant about a mechanic that quite often depending on situations, can make things worse, or units weaker, especially units with self debuff abilities like the one glade shielder has, or straight up kill caster, like sacrifice killer,sometimes you can play around it by using whatever ability else, as for auto ranged attack, dont know why it is a thing that you always have to attack neutrals in range

You know you can click the "stand your ground" button and the unit will lose all action (so it won't be able to attack or use abilities), right?

"can't use abilities" — wrong.
If abilities do not require actions than they can be used even in this case. Confirmed via runes of dwarves.

Such abilities should probably have the NO_AUTOCAST spec action then.

Dwarven runes are set this way, yes.

So the solution I proposed does work in all cases after all.
