Prelate inspiration and shift clicking doesn't function properly (AT ALL)

So I just noticed this and tested in several games it happened every time. I tried to chain inspiring villagers in the start of the game. The standard opening is to go 3 on food 3 on gold rally food and shift the prelate between gold and food. well most people just move him within range and letting him auto inspire and moving him him back manually. I attempted to shift click inspire the 3 villagers on gold individually and return to food. a line goes between each unit but the prelate inspires the first villager skips the rest and moves back to food.

It seems to be related to the cool down time, I think this because if you shift click a food villager after the 3 on gold he walks back (which allows for the ability to cool down) and inspires the food villager. I can’t imagine this is functioning as intended. if it is I guess I’ll play like everyone else is but it’d be nice to be able to chain one of the core abilities of the civ. if there’s a way to allow him to wait for the cool down before moving to the next instruction it’d be helpful for lower APM/Console players

this is on the latest patch for steam as of 3/30/23 build ID:10415729

It’s not, but there’s currently not a good timeline on a fix. This one should get fixed eventually, hopefully along with a couple other bugs still in play from when we vastly improved SHIFT+queue functionality.

Thank you for reporting!
