All skirmishers target the same unit (latest beta)

[HeinzHarald]

I'm playing a new game as Arverni and both times I fought two unit opposition all my skirmishers targeted the same unit (5 or 6 skirmishers). This is within the first seven turns. I'm expanding west. This hasn't happened when fighting more than two units.

Edit: happened again against a two unit opponent and they were both skirmishers.

It's a common feature, I've posted about this before.

it might be due to low experience, your skirmishers get better in their effect as they gain experience, I *think* they also get better at target selection, so if its early game I'd suggest that is the reason

Loki is right, experienced skirmishers tend to favor non exhausted enemies.

Actually despite what you see, ranged phase is sequential (but display is aggregated). So it should mean in your example that many skirmishers were necessary to exhaust a unit. There was also probably some bad luck involved, but we can't draw conclusion and stats from 2 battles in any case (plus I'm pretty sure I did not touch on this code for weeks)
