:arrow_forward: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

In the sixth scenario of the Joan of Arc campaign, A Perfect Martyr, monks belonging to the AI player Burgundy are able to convert player buildings from afar, even at maximum conversion range.

:arrow_forward: FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

Random

:arrow_forward: REPRODUCTION STEPS

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Present a valid target unit to an AI monk
  2. Wait for the monk to begin conversion
  3. Move target out of range
  4. Monk switches target to a building in line of sight and converts the building, sometimes instantaneously

:arrow_forward: EXPECTED RESULT

Monk switching to a valid target or aborting conversion attempt

:arrow_forward: GAME FILES (SAVE / RECORDING)

I don’t have a save file or recording of the bug at the moment, but I’d be happy to provide a save file of the mission during game play upon request. (Also new user, unable to attach files apparently)

Apologies for the double post, but couldn’t upload the second screenshot in the original due to new user limitations.

You’re welcome!

Since reporting the issue, I’ve run into it a couple more times, and actually managed to get a save this time, where an AI monk is converting a mining camp from four-five tiles away.
Please find the link for it below:

I hope they dont straight up disable range converting because several mod use these. if you can relay the message to fix the issue without doing so would be the best.

Came here to +1 this.

Game version 101.103.12119.0

I’m playing on my Steam Deck.

I experienced this in the Barbarossa 1st campaign “Holy Roman Emperor”. Monks from Lorraine converted my Bombard Tower! It would be a weird coincidence if it had been Burgundy too but I dispatched them off first and they didn’t seem to be using monks a lot.

So the bug is still there. A reddit post more than year ago also complained of this happening in some Chinese campaign.
