Update - Thursday May 03, 2007

Well I tried to vanquish a zone with heroes just now, and they still stood there getting beat on. Seems the AI is still broken.

I just tried Hell's Precipice with heroes/hench and during it I over aggroed a bit and my party had a near wipe -- but I managed to make Talhkora escape. I made her rebirth everybody she could, but 3 (including myself) were too deep in. So, I had all three healers revived, Koss, and the mage henchmen. I made them pull a few monsters and they slowly killed them off one by one. About 20 minutes after the wipe - there were a few monsters left (still some by the dead members) and a new partol with a melee boss came along. He was hitting hard and I didn't want to take any chances, so I flagged them back up a hill. I'd taken this route before, so it should be fine; however, about half way up it, they decided to all turn around and go nuts. Two started fighting the monsters again and the others ran completely backwards into a different mob and died.
