Once you do that, your units will 'attack-move' along that route, returning to their starting location after the final waypoint. The patrol command lets you set waypoints with shift click, and is finalized with a right click.
Definitive Edition is the second rerelease and, in addition to the higher quality graphics and all HD Edition content, includes updates and improvements. I like to call patrol 'attack-move-in-circles', because that is essentially how it works. Both are remasters of Age of Empires 2: Age of Kings. I believe you have to turn on advanced commands (F4 by default) in order to enable it. For this reason, it is inadvisable to right click on any target not in range of your units, as your units will spend most of their time walking and accomplish very little before dying.ĪoE 2 does have a mechanic that is similar to attack-move, called patrol. If the target moves out of line of sight or dies, your military units simply stop where they are and return their stance behavior. Age of Empires II HD is a remake of Age of Empires II that was released for PC through Steam on April 9, 2013. Right-clicking on an enemy unit will order your military units to pursue and attack that unit, ignoring everything else along the way. This answer applies to all AoE 2 variants, from the original to the Conquerors expansion to the HD release.
