Title, i been playing aoe3 for a month now and on Multiplayer
but Auto Move basically never work, most of the time your units will walk to the enemies face, before they will start shooting them
which is ridiculously dumb as this never happen in aoe4, you literally have to manually select troops to click on enemy to attack (Which lowers dmg massively as they all shoots at 1 target)
No, It does work, atleast for me and everyone I know of. Do you use the attack move as a hotkey or have you turned on the function that you press Alt + right click attack move?
Im not saying they dont but it takes a few seconds to register to recognize enemies is in front of them, basically i order attack move to an area, this bug will very likely happen if they run into anyone
I have to issue attack move again when they spotted enemies to make them attack, which they shouldt, they shouldnt require manual input and should auto attack everything on their sight
Its very bad especially for units thats uses muskets or guns
how can I use attack move properly : r/aoe3
This issue has been here for many years
Aoe4 i just attack move and they will always attack anything on their sight with 0 Delays, AOE3 the delays is so big you can lose a few units due to them walking or refusing to fire onto spotted enemies, unless you right click the enemies yourself
So it’s a delay?
I personally use the alt + right click setting and they shoot instant/almost instantly depending on irl location of my enemy. Perhaps try this out instead of the usual hotkey you have
