WHY ARE VILLAGERS & MILITARY UNITS NOT RESPONDING TO COMMANDS

[Azurean88]

EVERYONE JUST DOES WHAT THEY WANT, THE VILLAGERS GO & RESOURCE FOOD BUT WHEN I SEND THEM TO A DIFFERENT TASK THEY WALK TO WHERE I SENT THEM & THEN TURN RIGHT AROUND & KEEP DOING WHAT THEY AUTOMATICALLY DECIDED TO DO. WHAT IS GOING ON THE GAME IS UNPLAYABLE!

Turn off vill ai

How??

same problem here - i turned AI off, but still the villagers gather what they want, can't send them anywhere.

Posts like these are pretty much useless. I have not seen this myself so its not ALL villagers. What race are you playing as? What minor gods do you have? Does this happen in all ages? Did you set, and I forget the name here, did you set the AI to automate? Its a round button next to the age.

I'm sure there is probably a bug some where but without specifics there is nothing dev can really look into and no suggestions other players can make.

the problem is in skirmish mode, no matter what god i choose. the settlers/villagers start to run off and collect or build. i cannot stop them. i cannot stop the production of villagers. pls help/fix

same whether i switch the button "villager ai" to the left or to the right. i cannot play, just watch them work along, like in a demo. thx

I have lots of bugs like that as well, sometimes units aren't responding at all and keeps standing and I have nothing set in their behaviour, nor the AI thing, and I think its just a buggy mess at the moment.
