Villagers stand idle in middle of building foundation they should be constructing

:play_button: GAME INFORMATION

  • GAME BUILD #: 17001014
  • GAME PLATFORM: Steam
  • OPERATING SYSTEM: Windows 11

:play_button: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

I task villagers to make a building and then I go and focus on other things, but when I check back the villagers have not constructed the building and instead are standing in the center of the foundation

Has happened at least 4-6 times per multiplayer match I’ve played the past couple months. It’d probably happen more if I wasn’t now paranoid and watching to make sure the villagers do what they’re supposed to do

This isn’t good when you’re trying to win matches

:play_button: FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

  • 100% of the time / matches I play (ALWAYS) of online multiplayer matches, including Ranked ones.
    • It never happens when I play single-player skirmish matches
    • I have fast internet and fast CPU/GPU machine, so those shouldn’t be the issue

:play_button: REPRODUCTION STEPS

  1. Create private multiplayer lobby
  2. Invite Steam friend
  3. Add two computer “AI” (DE’s AI), random civs
  4. Population Max: 400. Game speed: Fast. Reveal Map: All Visible
  5. Start match
  6. Play game frenetically and watch how a handful of times during the match you will have tasked villagers to go make a building somewhere only to find out minutes later they have just been sitting idle in the middle of the building’s foundation
  • But, like I said, it has happened in Ranked games, as well, which is even more frustrating

:play_button: EXPECTED RESULT

They should construct the building

This happened years ago, as well, as seen in the forums. I’m not double right-clicking or anything. Just standard stuff to make buildings
