Converted units' waypoints are visible to new owner

:arrow_forward: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

When you convert a unit (at least a sheep), the waypoints that it had remain visible to you.

:arrow_forward: FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

  • 100% of the time / matches I play (ALWAYS)

:arrow_forward: REPRODUCTION STEPS

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Play against a friend. Have him send a sheep on a waypoint-filled scouting journey.
  2. Capture the sheep with a villager.
  3. The waypoints your friend set will remain visible to you.

:arrow_forward: EXPECTED RESULT

The converted unit should not only stop, but also lose all previous waypoint information. While minor, it’s a source of knowledge from your enemy (e.g. the way back to their base or where they plan to attack next) that you’re not supposed to have.

The sheep here shows the waypoints that p5 set, not p6.

From about 1:00 to 1:10 in this recording. Watch from p6 (Educating Rita)'s perspective, southernmost villager.
