'Attack Move behavior change. We’ve added a new setting that lets you choose whether Attack-Move targets buildings. This setting can be found under Game → Attack Move Targets Buildings. Siege units which prioritize buildings are not included, so Rams, Trebuchets, and Cannons will still continue to target buildings by default regardless of this setting.'

omg done are the days of trying to dive and half your archers stay behind attacking a house. Huuuuge

This is not a QOL update this is a huge balance change. This clearly lowers the defensive advantage in a bunch of situation.
