Berber Nomad moonwalk - animation/scripting bug

  • GAME BUILD #: v.100.12.47581.0
  • GAME PLATFORM: Steam
  • OPERATING SYSTEM: Windows 10

:arrow_forward: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

This bug affects the ‘Berber Nomad’ unit and its behavior after being sent to work in the ‘Community Plaza’ eco-building to work along with normal villagers.
In this case, I was playing as Aztecs, I did not test it with other civilizations that own this building.

The bug is afaik purely visual and concerns incorrect behavior and looped animation - after reaching the building the units are added to the pool of villagers who are there at work, unfortunately, ‘Berber Nomad’ glitches out and instead of standing around doing whatever vills should do, they freeze in place in an endless loop of walking animation. It doesn’t seem to affect the gameplay, but sure does it look weird.
