Warden not leading prisoner to electric chair?
I can't tell if I'm doing something wrong, but my warden is just plain determined not to lead any prisoner to the execution chamber. I did get him (finally) to fry one guy, but getting a second attempt is almost impossible. He leads him over to the little building I put the chamber in, but he'll avoid the door like the plague. He quite literally walked PAST the door, took the prisoner OUTSIDE the prison gates, and then just stood there with the prisoner on the other side of the fence. Wouldn't budge.

I got him to lead the first prisoner into the place by changing where the door is, but I really don't want to have to build a new door each time a prisoner is going to be executed. Is this a known bug, or do I just have a warden who's against the death penalty? :guard:

I'm half wondering if moving the chamber into my main prison would fix the issue.

Ive build him and the cheif an office each in my death row, cuts down travel time to a minimum, can get 3 executions in one night

I have no problem getting the warden to the prisoner, the only person I need to wait for is the priest. The problem is that when the warden escorts the prisoner to the chamber... he leads him off somwhere else that has nothing to do with executing. I've even moved the execution chamber right next to the death row cells, and even then the warden finds new and exciting paths to no where. I'm honestly not sure what's going on.

I took screenshots, but I'm getting the "black box of doom" thing in my steam library. If anyone can see em, you'll see what the warden is doing.

I've tryed a few things, in the way of minimizing routs. I;v even put the wardens office right next to the chamber, so that there is a straight hall leading from the cells, to the offece, and straight down ending in the exectution chamer, and still had him get stuck, I have starting locking all the doors on the path closed effectivly only leaving them 1 option..The AI is still pretty darn stupid. Re-Loading has fixed any issues so far. Approx 1 in 3 executins wind up needed reloaded before I figured out the locked closed thing.

i've only done 2 executions so far but they both worked fine. I did them at night when everyone was going to sleep.

Drat... I tried your suggestion lissa and it still didn't work. I now have my death row cells and the execution chamber in the same little wing so that there are literally only 2 non-cell doors, one out to the rest of the prison and one to the execution chamber. I locked the one out into the prison, and when the warden arrived in the cell he literally just sat there. The only reason they moved at all was that the PRISONER was kinda shoving him out the cell door. Once they got into the hall they just sat there for an eternity.

And I do the executions at night too, so the lockdown is easier. It's still a pain sometimes, but I can get the prison under lock down. Just, I can't get the warden to kill the prisoner. Maybe my warden has a moral objection he never told me about when he signed on. XD
