[BUG 1.00] tactical AI - drakes etc will fireball themselves

Tactical AI drakes etc will fireball themselves if they're adjacent to enemy units, potentially for massive self damage (and not in a way that made it seem like they were doing some good cost/reward analysis).  Seen it several times now.

Yea, dragons and all types of things fuck themselves with their breath weapons.

Don't dragons have the 'Immune to Fire' trait?

If they don't, they probably should have it. If they do, it should be checked to make sure it works.

yeah, the problem is when units that have AoE attacks target someone who is only a tile or so from themselves.  They won't 'offset' target, so end up hitting themselves as well.

 

It would make the AI a bit more dangerous if they actually offset the center of the AoE to not include themselves (or allies).  Juggernauts are fun when you position 1 unit next to the rest of their army so that the Jug can wipe their allies out.
