I really couldn't think of a better way to describe this problem.
I actually saw it several releases before version 1.40, not sure how far back. Was hoping it would be fixed by ver. 1.40. I know, I should have reported it much earlier.
The problem is most of the Sovereigns have their eyes shut, while others are wide or open (as normal). The ones with eyes shut are Relias, Procipinee, Carrodus, Markinn, Cresa, Karavox, Ku-Al-Kulan, and my own. The others seem to be fine. If you watch their pictures, you notice they do eventually blink, but the blinking is reversed. They blink their eyes open and right back to shut. It's actually quite funny, but also annoying.
I uninstalled the game and reinstalled it to version 1.40, but no luck. And my newly created Sovereigns still begin with all their eyes shut. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Or can this be fixed in a future update?
