:play_button: REPRODUCTION STEPS

  1. Start a single player game (Skirmish) vs Extreme AI, for example on Araba.
  2. Make sure they have Skirmishers. You can force that by attack with a few archers.
  3. Attack them with anything, even villagers.

AI Skirmishers are supposed to be able to attack.
The bug started around 2 weeks ago.

This applies to all ranged units used by an Extreme AI. Has been going on for months, I’ve seen multiple posts and comments anout it on reddit.

I do not play online and Extreme AI is the only challenging AI for me. Whole game may as well be broken, to me.
