GAE/Patrol
Patrol is a new command in GAE using existing skills. It allows the unit to walk back and forth between a chosen location, attacking foes that may appear. This makes it useful for patrolling a large area to prevent attack. Patrol can be set to patrol to a unit, in which case it will walk between that unit and its starting location. If the unit dies, it goes to the location it last was.
