Can't steal farms from enemy

:play_button: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

Since this last update, you can’t steal farms from enemy anymore. If there’s an enemy farm without any vills, you click with your vill to farm there and nothing happens. If you make a mill or town center, the vills automatically start attacking the enemy farms nearby, which is another bug that was introduced recently too. But there’s no way to steal the farm, as you always could before this patch.

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Find a vacant enemy farm
  2. Right click it with your vill to claim it
  3. Nothing happens

You should be able to steal an enemy farm

To attack a farm with a villager is a shame, since it should be able to take ownership and simply work on it by default. Was there a way to attack farms using villagers before? Don’t really remember, not even in AOE1DE. Haven’t played enough with enemy farms so I don’t know for certain.

Confirm. As an aside this also makes the Gaiseric (406) scenario (which somewhat relies on this behaviour) much more difficult, especially if one is rushing to try and get the achievement.
