My fighters did that too. Goblins were attacking the town but the knights and soldiers kept going after the goblins on the other side of the board.

For the next update, I've actually worked on the soldier's AI so they will be a little smarter about defending the town. That situation shouldn't happen after the next update.

[Audyssey] guard tower
Hi Jeremy, castaway is way cool!! Thanks for the game. I just started playing yesterday and it took me one whole sleepless night to complete level 1 on easy. haha! Although i built a guard tower, I don't quite understand how does it help in the defence. If I do not have it, where will my nights be when not attacking goblins? 锦发/Steady Goh --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] guard tower
Steady, I'm glad to hear you enjoy the game! :D The question about guard towers has come up a lot, so I'll try to explain it as best as I can. Please let me know if this helps clear up how they are used. When you have soldiers, they will pick a building to serve as their home base. This will usually be the barracks, and this is the place they will return to and rest at after a day of battling goblins. The problem is that your barracks might be very far from the goblins, lets pretend it is 15 tiles away. Every time they want to attack, your soldiers must march 15 tiles to the battle, kill goblins, and then march 15 tiles back home to rest. Tons of time is being wasted walking, when they could have rested and killed more goblins had the barracks been close to the battle. One way to solve this would be to build another barracks near the fighting so your soldiers don't have to travel so far to rest between battles. This would work but Barracks are expensive, so it is much cheaper to build guard towers. Guard towers also let soldiers rest just like your barracks, so you can put these near the battle and they are much cheaper to build. If the guard tower is 2 tiles away, your soldiers can attack the goblins, go back to rest, attack them more, and more, and it has only taken as long as it used to take them to attack once and then walk 15 tiles back to the barracks. By traveling shorter distances, your people can attack more. Some people wonder what happens if they scatter guard towers around the map. The good news is that it can't hurt, it can only help. The soldiers will always try to protect your town if they can, which means they would rather attack goblins who are close to one of your buildings. After attacking the closest goblins, they will head to the closest place they can rest. If you have guard towers dotted around the map, they will almost certainly see one that is closer than walking all of the way back to your barracks. And if your barracks happens to be closer, they will rest their instead. Hi Jeremy, castaway is way cool!! Thanks for the game.

I suppose it's possible that I don't understand your question. Could you explain, in detail, what is happening with your Knights? This will help me answer, when I fully understand what is being asked. Hi, I don't understand that either. My knights are still roving half way across the map as fra as I can tell.
