This is the 2nd time it happened, same civ, same map and same units. I tested the defensive stance with a friend in a custom game and worked as intended. But everytime i play in arab map with bulgarians the defensive stance breaks

Hi @Victotem
I tried to download the rec you uploaded but I don’t have access. Were these men at arms like 4 tiles away from the TC?
I informed the team about this issue.
Thanks for your report.

This is still happening. M@A in defensive stance placed at a reasonable distance from the TC (4-5 tiles or even more, like guarding enemy’s main gold) follow enemy vills or troops and get lured under TC fire

MP Replay v101.102.46236.0 @2024.05.09 183205 (2).aoe2record (3.7 MB)

In this game it happens at minute 13:20, lured by scout, and at minute 18:00 lured by archers.
It is a frequent issues if you use M@A, please fix it!
