 == Home guards ==
-A "home guard" is a variant on the "guardian" AI special. With this variant, the unit has an assigned "home" location, and the unit will return there if not involved in combat and if not going to a village, whether for healing or to capture it this turn. (The standard guardian AI will cause the unit to stay where it last attacked.) This differs from the [[http://wiki.wesnoth.org/Micro_AIs#Return_Guardian_.28ai_type.3Dreturn_guardian.29|Micro AI (Lua) return guardian]] in that a home guard will press the attack, possibly getting drawn quite far from "home", rather than returning after each attack.

 This approach might also be useful for when it is desired that a certain unit or type of unit should not attack. Alternatively, it could be useful to specify that a beserker, say, should not attack unless a formula AI candidate action expression evaluates to > 0 (be careful that you don't rely on the built-in calculation functions though, as they are not executed with this aspect set).
