[Bug] [0.981] Auto Explore confused.

from Elemental Forums

Got to use auto explore since I build these fantastic slave scouts, and at some time turn 60 I had completely forgotten about my auto exploring scout, and by turn twohundred whattheever I get a popup with my old scouts face upon it saying: "Directive Cancelled: Error. No auto move directive."

I was first puzzled since I had nooooo idea what was going on until I zoomed back to my fantastic scout. I tried to click "Explore" again since part of the map was still black, and it gave the same error message, so I decided to put the save and screenshot up here.

I've seen that before as well. I was able to fix the problem by moving the scout through enemy territory and then click on explore again.

Yea, just a thing that "should" be fixed at release, or atleast known by people like frogboy, since I guess the AI uses the autoexplore mechanics too, so if these mechanics are off, it would be great if they where improved.

Never doubted that this should be fixed before release. But the description of my fix may lead to them to fix the problem. As they need the root cause in order to fix the problem. Plus it is also a bump for the thread. ;)
