Ahh, Monks! I forgot about them, I was thinking about SKs and Necros only. Anyway, I didn't think of it as a permanent solution, just a filler tell something better shows up. At least the exploit got squashed out right away.
Could also toss in some exceptions; maybe a timer for FD while engaged, and un-limited time for FD while not engaged, so if you're in a fight and you stay on the FD too long, then they will all poof.
It's a combination problem where the player goes FD and when the bots gets killed, then they are 'not engaged' and he can quickly make another round of bots and send them in (all the time, he's FD)
