Default EA Mictlan minor detail

Just in case you were wondering, a Mictlan commander who is recruiting slaves in a province with a castle is not patrolling. So when the huge Van army that you thought you were ready for, with a combination of PD and patrolling troops comes to town, watch out. All those Jag Warriors the “busy recruiting slaves” commander is leading, well, they won’t fight.

Learn from my pain…

I think the rule of thumb is, if they do not say "Patrol", then they will not guard the castle.

Jim,

Thus my request for the next patch to fix a well known bug. My commanders do not read my mind and they should. Illwinter needs to fix the mind reading AI...

I have seen them read my mind once or twice, so are we sure that's a bug? Or is it just with certain units?

More testing is required.

It might have been a Golem. Mindless commanders don't read minds.

Commanders are also unable to read mindless player's minds

By definition, mindless players have no minds to read.

My wife has frequently told me that I have no mind. It appears the cause of this bug has been found and squashed. As always, Illwinter has great customer support! Now, if they can get to the bug that has me lose every game I play...
