Exploitable AI behavior

[Hriibek]

Hello,

When AI does the thing where the unit stops one hex from your range (f.i. when AI speed 5 unit is attacking player speed 4 unit), it can be exploited and make AI walk all over the map one hex at a time.
You can move your unit one hex further and AI will keep coming towards you, but never attacking. If there's an obstacle for you to walk around, the AI unit will ignore rest of the battle and keep chasing you, even while your other units are massacring its ranged buddies.

I believe this is not desirable and there should be some kind of limit on how many times in a row the AI uses its waiting move.

Hi!
Fheroes2 AI uses such tactics when he has a speed advantage and the overall ranged strength of your troops is not so high, so he does not need to rush.
If you still think, that the behaviour is not proper, could you, please, attach a savefile or video so we can check the particular case for any flaws or bugs in the code?

I've encountered this more than once - a rough picture of the battle:

1. It is necessary to close your shooters (in the upper left corner), so that the AI could not hit them.
2. Flying unit to chase the AI monster, moving from the lower left corner to the upper right corner.
3. Shoot the AI with a gunner, at some point the AI stops chasing the flyer and goes to fight in hand-to-hand.
   How there will still be such a battle will save.
