Scenario AI units are ignoring my courier orders

[Monty]

This is an odd one.

In the sandbox I can order my subordinate units around using courier messages, but in the scenarios I (now) cannot. I watch the courier gallop off to the message recipient and deliver the message, but nothing happens. I've just tested this in the Jackson and Rodes scenario: as Jackson, I galloped up to about 50 yards from Colston and sent him a message to move his unit forward 300 yards. Nothing happened. In the Rodes scenario I galloped over to Iverson and ordered him to do the same, nothing happened.

I've tried this on normal difficulty and custom difficulty. I am using the 2nd beta patch (but I believe I may have witnessed this in the 1st beta patch) and I am not using any mods.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

I've worked out what the problem was, the execution time had defaulted to about three hours in the future. :laugh:


The sandbox units were all responding because the battle was set after that time.

Good catch and excellent testing
