Interesting! But @drewisfat ’s point half stands, due to this (in bold)?

Spoiler :

And most importantly units that fullfill these criteria are considered targets, but don't receive damage, therefore reducing the effectiveness of collateral damage, just like Mr. Cairo already discovered

• Units with Type NO_COMBATUNIT (there is none in the game)
• Collateral immune units
• Damaged units that are under the damage limit. (but it's less likely that they are selected because of their reduced HP)

Oh, I looked up how the probability for targeting works. It's just a random number multiplied by the units HP. I thought this was added to other contributing factors, but nope. In that case, a full health catapult would be chosen with the same likelihood as a full health lb while an axe at the 50% collateral limit would only be chosen 25% of the time over the lb. So cats are much better for this purpose.

Lol, them rarely getting targeted is the last thing I'd have guessed.... TIL
