Ok i forgot to explain 

With this PR, (https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/pulls/7633) units will only get stuck attacking a building (or capturing) if you have directed them to do this. If you didn't, they will consider units of higher priority. So it means that if you looked away from your army and they start attacking buildings because there are no units nearby, they won't get stuck doing this.

Also, it helps with units like bolts to not get stuck attacking a house or something.

sometimes army auto attack rams instead soldiers, that souldnt happen unless explicitly ordered

happened

another weird thing that seems to be happening in a27 is that units in aggressive stance dont obey orders under fire, acting as if they were in violent stance

AFAIK when "attack moving" they do.

No they don't. This is the worst of all worlds as they attack houses (or fields) that come into range en route.

I recommend binding "attack move (units only)" in place of the current attack move.

Is this CTRL+Q click? Because that's just monstrously difficult to do in game.

I appreciate the help, but anything that basically means builsongs are ignored unless explicitly asked to be attacked/captured would be a bonus in future releases.

yeah, but you can set it to just "ctrl" and make the other one unbound.
