[1.5 Release, BUG] AI Bosses still leaving wildlands area and roaming all over

In a recent game under the released 1.5 Vetrar left the cold confines of his wildlands area to roam freely all over the land.  You'll note in the save I've linked below that he is hanging out right next to one of my towns with some wolves to accompany him.  I have mods disabled.

The main reason this is happening is that 

 

1.) Those wandering monsters (wolves in your case) integrate into wildland bosses.

2.) Something gets broken and now the whole army stack is free to move.

 

This also applies any normal monster lair main stacks.

Actually I see the main lair stacks move on their own anyway, it just takes quite a few turns. (I noticed this when I was waiting for all the monster to move off of their lairs on a wildland so I can clear it.)

I also notice with this most recent iteration that unit stack icons are grayed out slightly.

Yes, I believe it is related to the beastlord and studded collar broken bug as well.

Yep, and it's still a rather crippling bug because you cannot clear out the Vetrar quest and wildland area if you kill Vetrar outside the area.  Although you get the sword and city item bonus, the quest doesn't complete.  Derek, this really does need a fix.

Well I'll be waiting for 1.6 I guess and hope this bug gets locked down.

My fix is still working, I guess I can polish it up, so these beasts only stay on their wildland.

I noticed in a recent game that the Obsidian Golem guardians of the Imperium ruins wildlands area immediately started wandering all over the map at the beginning of the game.  This obviously makes it very difficult to clear Imperium as you need to hunt them down.

The imperium always has the settle tile. Sometimes the AI will settle two closely to make this tile visible at times, but it is there from the beginning of the game.

Hmm...there is no visible place to settle in my save game.  I'll try to post a link to a save game shortly.  I figured it was because the golems started roaming around the map and I haven't found them all.

Here is a link to the save game.  I have a pioneer unit in Imperium waiting to settle the area.  It is to the north on the map.

If there is a city too close, you don't have the settle tile.  I don't think there is any requirement to kill all the armies and/or clear all the lairs in Imperium to settle the tile, although you have to get most of them in order to get a pioneer through.  I think you must have an AI city that is too close to the normal settle spot.

That must be it, although I don't see anything super close to the area--the closest city is one I built after clearing Imperium.  Needless to say, the Obsidian Golem guardians should not be roaming the map leaving their treasures free for the taking.
