[Turtle][Conquest][Sing.Play] Shopkeepers inside caravan died when it unpacked on non-owned tile

6 votes

On the first map of the single player conquest, I was moving my caravan from a tile to another further away. The caravan already had shopkeepers in it, so they went with the caravan.

When unpacking on the new tile (free of defenders), all my shopkeepers died, it didn't unpack and I got an error message. My troops were on the same tile (hero and 4 warriors).

1 - Solo Conquest
2 - Windows 11
3 - DirectX
4 - Couldn't reproduce
5 - I wasn't able to understand everything when the error ocurred - it took me some time to understand what happened, so a printscreen couldn't be taken that's relevant
6 - The printscreen was taken from the autosave of the same game.
7 - Link to savegame: "https://1drv.ms/u/c/d621d82907b32995/EVMaTTSrUwFLorsVXSaXOjsBv-Y2w4Z1zFm5CFPoQ6616w?e=aT4FsN"

on my own tile a caravan is deployed and shopkeepers are in it, i deployed it in a neutral tile and everything is fine till i unpacked it again, the shopkeepers went back to my townhall so i deployed that neighboring neutral tile to put back the shopkeepers and when theyre back i unpacked it again so i can move it to the next tile but the shopkeepers just died. I dont have an image to provide because my game just crashed

As title states, sometimes when the caravan crosses zone-lines, Shopkeepers just randomly die.
Seems to mainly (Only?) happen with special zones (wolf dens etc.).
When it happens whilst playing co-op, partner seems to have a 50/50 chance of crashing/freezing.

I only play Conquest, so no idea if it happens in normal games.
Verifying files did not fix the issue. Directx/opengl has no impact on it either.

Sometimes ( randomly it seems) when packing up on purchased tile ( in my instance my townhall) the shopkeepers died and I lost the conquest as it had uncolonized the zone.

Adding to this. Was Playing a 4v4 with friends vs AI. I had the issue where when I packed up the convoy the Shopkeepers tried to run back to my Base. Then when I packed up the next time all of them died and it crashed the game.

I was deep in to neutral territory, as we had been using the caravan to hold tiles while taking out an opponent. when the opponent died I left the caravan there to mine their left over stone. Moving the caravan to the stone tile is when they tried to run back to Town Hall. After mining the stone and packing up, as the Caravan crossed in to the next Neutral territory, all of the shopkeepers immediately died and the game crashed.
