Idle workers AI bug and some pathfinding issues
Hello
It's me, again :). It seems it's something wrong with AI of workers. First of all, they prioritize fortifying walls over claiming territory (though someone already reported this). Another thing - they become idle when there's lots of work to do - in Lamash's 3rd level I had around 20 workers and 15 were marked in status bar as idle - they didn't claim enemy tiles, didn't fight enemy workers - they were just standing around (example screenshot below). I have encountered such behavior when I did play as Volta but it wasn't happening when I played as Shale (though you may have rolled some hotfix that affected AI of workers after I finished Shale's campaign and before started playing as other underlords).

I have also encountered some pathfinding issues (so far - twice) when I did play Volta's first level. First happened when my eternal got stuck on my bombard surrounded by rampart (there was 1 tile wide passage filled by unprotected bombards), he didn't want to come around it, just tried to go through it. Second happened when my thunderling tried to go through fortified wall (single tile surrounded by my tiles from all sides) instead going around and got stuck. Fortunately, I was able to manually guide them both around obstacle by using rally flags. Sadly, I don't have any save or log for this.

Due to the sweeping changes to the pathfinder and the rarity of this issue there's not much we can do. Let us know if it happens again, especially if it happens after the next patch
