ISSUE EXPERIENCED
AI villagers can’t figure out what to do with gathered wood. They wander aimlessly in tight walking patterns around where they gathered the wood, with arms full of wood. Sometimes vibrating
FREQUENCY OF ISSUE
One match so far (RARELY)
REPRODUCTION STEPS
- 1v1 SP game.
- Enemy AI was Henry the Navigator (not sure what civ that is). I was Cumans.
- Used battering rams early (in Feudal) to take out their home TC, several houses, and other stuff. Enemy migrated to different part of map. I soon followed and took out some of their other buildings
- I noticed several lumberjacks stuck for several minutes going back and forth and vibrating.
Red villys in middle of screen. I thought my rams were maybe scaring them, so I moved them far away, but villys still were stuck doing their aimless wanderings in the middle of screenshot
Tried uploading a small looping GIF (1,237 KB file) of the issue, but get forum error. Have seen that error a number of times the past day or two on forum even for just regular screenshots. Think the forum is having upload issues.
Hi @Darkness01101
Thanks for reporting this issue. For your comments and the picture, I guess the AI lost their lumberjack camp and struggled to find where to drop the wood. Which difficulty were you playing? The AI should have created a lumber camp or TC, but we can´t be sure what the AI was doing at that moment.
Hi @IvanHCastro! Here’s the animated GIF I tried to upload before (forum upload issue got fixed today), if it helps
I don’t have a recording of the game, but I was on Moderate difficulty, no handicaps, Four Lakes map, ‘Fast’ Game Speed, Reveal Map: ‘All Visible’, Population 500, Victory: ‘Conquest’. ‘Standard’ Resources, and ‘Standard’ Start, and ‘Standard’ End Age
I probably did destroy his nearby lumbercamp with my battering rams, but I’m pretty sure he had a new TC a couple screens to the north. The lumbercamp destroy probably triggered it, you’re right – but I don’t know for sure.
At one point I moved my battering rams and other military a little farther away to see if they were scaring the villys (see image below). That seemed to maybe help trigger at least one villager to venture out above that group of trees (I don’t have a screen cap of that), but then they went back down into the group of confusion 
Do you think they’re maybe extra scared of battering rams or rams confuse them? I’ll try messing around with it
I don’t think I’ve seen this before, but just wanted to report it. Thanks again!
