###         ◆ UPDATE 104954 ◆  

Game

Xbox

• Gurjaras can now upgrade to Elite Shirvamsha Riders, as intended, through the radial menu with a controller.

• Bengalis can now upgrade to Siege Elephants as intended, through the radial menu with a controller.

Gameplay

General

• Fixed an issue with units prioritizing farms over other units/buildings when retargeting.

• Fixed an issue with units on stand ground not always automatically attacking units within their range. Units will now correctly retarget units within range without a direct order.

AI

Pathfinding

• Fixed an issue with units regrouping after being issued a movement command.

• Fixed an issue with units teleporting.

• Fixed an issue with Villagers getting stuck in a loop trying to reach a resource to gather from.

Known Issues

• AI: Units on the stand ground attack stance defend themselves if they can’t path find to a targeted unit. To override this behavior, Ctrl+Rightclick can be used on the target (no matter the attack stance).

• Gameplay: In some cases, defensive buildings firing multiple arrows can output more damage than intended.
  As always, we are continuing to track issues reported by the community for future updates.
