AI Orders

An AI order is used for a lance or a lance unit. An order helps guide the AI to do something specific such as attack buildings or move to and stay within a region.

It can be set as a starting order by the lance spawner or, in upcoming releases, an IssueOrder and similar results will be exposed to be used to set orders using triggers.

This order makes the AI go to and stay within a specific region.
