Paradox mage from future seems have problem with tac AI. After initial assault he seems stop doing anything at all. Because sometimes(very seldom) player got teleported it seems the problem is in accumulated paradox. After paradox get big enough for fail rate near 100% Paradox Mage doppleganger can not harm player. Suggestion: NPC Paradox Mage should run away and decrease paradox in safety if failure rate more 50%-70% (random choice)

I'm playing as an Anorithil and noticed some weird stuff going on with both the Ancient Mummy and the Master. I thought the Mummy had me cornered as I had to phase door out of some bad stuff and I ended up in a dead end out of range of my jumpgate. The Mummy came around the corner, came into range and moved back and forth, towards me and the away from me a step at a time while I just finished him off.
The Master did the exact same thing. I was better prepared for him and most likely would have beaten him anyway but it was pretty anticlimatic. We battled for a while and then he just ended up in my sights moving back and forth. He would Phase Door away every so often but then come back and decide he didn't want to attack and just move back and forth waiting for (and this is a guess) his phase door cooldown to reset.
I have the log file from my fight with the Master if that would be useful (about 17MB...I was playing for a while before the last fight). If you have an email that will take 20MB attachments I can forward it to you, if not I'll cut it down later if you want it.

That sounds like the old flee bug... what version of ToME did you see this in? Have other people seen this?

I had an armoured skeleton warrior use the "Disarm" talent while trying to get out of an Ice Block. I guess there's probably a larger problem that the AI doesn't really know that it's in an ice block, but Disarm is just a worse choice than Attack.

An adventurer stood still (because of last stand, probably) and attempted to use Bleeding Edge on me every turn. I was far away from him, so it did nothing. After closing and then backing away, he switched to spamming rush for a while, which also didn't work. Then he went back to Bleeding Edge. Here he is:

Subject Z just stood still in b28 while my dwarf hacked away at him: According to the tooltip he targeted himself around when I used repulsion to try and daze him. Closest Yeek death I've had, solely because of an AI screwup.

Tactical AI puts way too high of a priority on dodging ranged attacks. This made my fight as an Archer vs Atamethon very easy, as he would always dodge the three or so arrows on the way, rather than come closer to me.

That is quite odd... there shouldn't be any EFFORT to dodge projectiles at all. Can you describe the behavior a bit more? The NPC would move side to side, or even away from you?

Not sure if the AI attempts to avoid projectiles already in the air, or if it tries do go all
serpentine when it sees a projectile, to try and confuse the player or limit the player's ability to hit things behind it. But in general the AI never moves in a straight line after it gets hit by ranged attacks. At least, that's what I've noticed.

Atamathon ran away to range 9 or so, then moved around randomly (side to side, and nearer/further), dodging some (but not all) of the arrows I sent his way. He moved every turn, and never used any talents.

I had a High Peak random boss use Frenzy (cursed melee attack skill) many times without me (or anybody) next to it. Sorry, no details to illuminate it further.

There's a big problem with monsters fleeing from ranged attacks, especially bosses, and then getting stuck skirting around 9 squares away being shot at with ease. I'd prefer it if enemies simply never fled - it doesn't add anything to the game.

Most normal or critter foes don't flee, they just zerg you like you say... it's only the elites that have the hp to flee after the first attack that flee, and not just from ranged attacks. It's why I take Rush for my fiters and zerkers, cuz otherwise they'd be chasing stuff endlessly.
