  • OPERATING SYSTEM: Windows 10

:arrow_forward: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

:point_down: DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.

Units keep going backwards when ordered to go forward, pivoting around themselves for no apparent reason. It is atrocious to play with, as they wrongfully retreat from their target, giving the enemy a SIGNIFICANT upper hand to rearrange their troups when they should have been shot.

Playing with a mass of any siege, or slow units like elephant archers or ballista elephants, is simply doomed to failure.

:arrow_forward: FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

:point_down: How often does the issue occur? CHOSE ONE; DELETE THE REST!

  • 100% of the time / matches I play (ALWAYS)

:arrow_forward: REPRODUCTION STEPS

:point_down: List CLEAR and DETAILED STEPS we can take to reproduce the issue ourselves… Be descriptive!

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Click units in a direction
  2. They go in the opposite

:arrow_forward: EXPECTED RESULT

:point_down: What was SUPPOSED to happen if the bug you encountered were not present?

The units are supposed to go where they are told to go. Not do this little dance around themselves.

In the latest patch, it was explicitly stated to be fixed, and instead it’s worse than ever before.

:arrow_forward: IMAGE

:point_down: ALWAYS attach a PICTURE (.jpg, .png, .gif) or VIDEO (.mp4, YouTube link) that highlights the problem.

:arrow_forward: GAME FILES (SAVE / RECORDING)

Hope the devs make fixing this a priority. Nothing in the game is more frustrating then losing half your
archers when you click them away from a mangonel and they move towards it instead!

I’m not buying a single dlc until they fix this garbage. Haven’t played the game in weeks specifically cause of this.

Rest assured. After collecting enough money from selling DLCs to pay for those who are responsible for issue-patching, we will get a proper fix, which is 6 months at the least.
