"Benny Hill" fix?

(1/5) > >>

Beeskee:
Every time I need to kill something with my military, it turns into a "hilarious" Benny Hill-style chase with the military chasing around whatever it is. I've tried everything I can think of, and it's getting really frustrating. "OMFG WARTHOG" is too tough for my military. :(

Edit: It looks like they are trying to move to where the enemy WAS rather than where the enemy IS, even if the enemy is only a few tiles away.

Urist Imiknorris:
cage traps + arena.

Really, anything that you actually need to kill will be more than willing to aim straight for your army.

Doesn't help if a hostile is already inside...

Urist Imiknorris:
Lots of lockable doors? Even building destroyers have to pause a moment to destroy them.

DarthCloakedDwarf:
I find it's best to micromanage this. See in what direction the thing is running, and then make a station order in front of it.
