Thanks for posting this VFB. I had thought I was drunk or crazy when armies did not move as they were ordered to. Now, maybe not.

Oh, I'm both! Well, not drunk right at this particular moment. But my armies still didn't move even though they were ordered to. I've seen others mention this problem before too, but of course it's never a big deal ... until it happens to me!

(Kidding about the big deal part. It was a hot sunny day, when a messenger with orders from above arrived. The army must quit their idling, and march across the border this month, numerical inferiority be damned! War Minotaurs be damned! Ten score and more Centaurs, with great massive bows be damned!

I figure the captains in that province must have put rocks in the messenger's pockets and thrown him in the river.)

I get this bug all the time in SP and it's always very annoying.

Yeah, me too. And of course in SP you (almost) never keep your previous turns, so you don't have any files to send.

I had this happen in a MP game, just this last turn. An Arch Theurg and a few soldiers detached to move to a province to build a temple. Now the temple cannot be built for another turn. I may be Dom killed becuzza that.

Happened to me too - vfb, I think the MP game we are in together.

I've had it as well in a MP game.
It would be nice if someone could reproduce the bug reliably in SP.
I haven't looked at the sent files, but the files reproduces the bug at hosting they might be useful.

I have also experienced this bug which has costed me a few important battles. I can add that scouts are able to sneak into the problematic neighboring provinces when the armies fail to travel.

KO:
Any chance we'll see map edit commands where province_A can only travel to province_B? (one_way traveling)

Oh, that's too bad! I'd hate to take advantage of a situation where a bug prevented you from attacking. Was it this past turn? The game it happened to me in is the one we are in together, Forseti.

If it was the last turn's orders where your army failed to move, can you please email 'info at illwinter.com' with the details of what your orders were? Maybe that will help them fix the bug.
