[BUG/GAMEPLAY] Pressing down arrow causes sovereign to move down, then left, then up

June 12, 2010 9:42:38 AM from Elemental ForumsElemental Forums

Movement was working fine using the arrow keys then after my sovereign delivered a noble woman to her estate, it started acting strangely. Pressing down arrow caused sovereign to move down, then left, then up. My sovereign then died and was revived and he worked okay for a bit then started doing this again.

If I could also ask a question: Is there any other way to move in this game? Can't I click? There is no tutorial and nothing in preferences to help with this.

Thanks,
Gary

I am finding the same thing is happening even using right-click to set a destination. The sovereign will always go to the destination but will sometimes circle around, moving places where I've not asked him to go.

This appears to only happen to the sovereign (haven't seen it with recruits as of yet) and only if there is movement left in the turn. Makes it impossible to get him to stop on a particular square.

Yes, just select unit(s) and right click a destination.

Even if I right-click, if the NPC I am moving has movement left in their turn, they will act erratically, IOW, then will move even though I told them to stop on a particular sqaure.

Did you have them set to autoexplore?

Quoting kryo,

No, the sovereign was not set to auto-explore. And actually, I did set another NPC to auto-explore and they never moved a muscle...

I'll double check just to make sure I don't have them backwards or something, but if auto-explore means to always move in the same circular pattern, it's pretty broken.

I am not currently seeing this problem in Beta 2-A.
