Control of armies

[Dreamstar58]

I am a new player and I was wondering if there is any way to control the attack of armies when on missions. My army consistently ignores attackers such as canons and concentrates on other building therefore getting totally wiped out.

If you look at the description of each unit type you'll see that they have different attacking priorities. So the swords men and archer will attack anything, ninjas will attack resource buildings first, bears will attack defences first etc. if you ox your troops up a bit you'll find a combination that suits you.

They're not very bright, hacking through walls right next to an opening sometimes!

I hate it when there is a huge gaping hole in the wall and the Archers go sideway around, later some will come back.
The Dragons should be taught to fire back at the most vicious attack weapon; while it is getting hammered it casually bombs whatever is in front of it.

Yup, the AI is just plain dumb.
