Select idle villagers in radius after sheep runs out

Age of Empires IV IV - Report a Bug
1

How to reproduce:

  1. Collect a sheep with 8 villagers.
  2. Wait teel the sheep runs out.
  3. Click one of the villagers
  4. Click your “Select idle villagers in radius” bind.
  5. Observe that none of the villagers that are idle and in radius are selected

Other observations:

  1. It seems to happen when any food source runs out like deer or boar.
  2. After 30-60 seconds of idling the villagers are fully marked as idle(with “zzz” above their head) and the bind is working as intended.
  3. The other bind “Cycle through idle villagers” works perfectly fine with those “not fully idle villagers”.

Would be happy to see a fix or a workaround to this.

As of November 5th this still happens. To add some new info:

  1. “Select idle villagers in radius” doesn’t work on villagers, when they are in the process of searching another sheep, but there are no more sheep around, which seems to have a timeout of about 1-2 minutes.

  2. This also happens when the villager just was produced with a gathering point on the sheep that were after fully gathered, the new villager won’t be selected with select villagers in radius.

  3. The buttons “Select all idle villagers” and “Cycle through idle villagers” seem to work flawlessly in these scenarios, all idle villagers even without “ZZZ” above their head are selected.
