[Bug??][0.86] Attaaaaack of the moving mountain...

[Bug][AI Boss Movement]

from Elemental Forums

Hi, I was playing a game, and was in the special neutral zone that is a Big desert, have a big "temple" as a special building, and in this zone reside on of the huge bosses called: Torax, Who Grinds Mountains to Dust

And In this game I went in and cleared the whole of that wildlands, except Torax himself since he was too tough (yay to auto escape spell.. That spell is kind of silly atm).
I then move out of that zone, and after a mistake later on had to load a save, After I loaded the save the Wildlands border dissapeared..? (Not sure what happened, so have a hard time posting it as a bug, either that or the temple was the one to kill to eradicate the wildlands).

Now this Torax is Rampaging the world... Am not entirely sure what he is doing and it is the first time I have seen this kind of behavior, which seems weird to me, so I would post it here...

I have a screenshot of him being out of place: http://imageshack.us/f/801/screenshotcopy.png/

I have a save of the game (exact time of the screenshot) on my desktop, but not sure how to upload it here, (okay, I didn't spend a whole lot time of troubleshooting myself, then again not sure if its important).

Sincerely

It's a reported bug that if you have a wildlands quest active, and you save and then reload, the fact that it was an active quest is lost when you reload.  Hopefully that will get fixed in time for Beta 3.

That is not the point at all. It is not the quest that is missing, but the Wildlands territory is missing, and this boss monster decided to leave his cave which was through a simple maze, walking 30+ tiles to get to my city, (can tell you the following turns he walks around abit confused, then decides to attack the city). (Killed him at that point...)

Ah, but it is the point.  At least in my games where it happens, on reload the wildlands border is gone and the monsters are free to roam.  Did your wildlands still have the border around it?

Nope, but never seen it before either, that wildlands dissapear at random, even when loading/saving... First time a wildlands decided to attack me out of a dozen games where I have met them.
