Volta 4 - Cornucopia

I decided to give Pathetic AI along with God Mode a try (at first) and after watching the...ehm...horror of 4 Nether Shrines in action i decided to make things faster and placed defenses close to the enemy cores, starting with Shale. Then something weird happened.

The defenses ignored the Cultists and other intelligent minions and only focused on the Core (those that could hit it at least) and the beasts, and not only that, the intelligent minions ALSO ignored the defenses back. This also applies to my own minions who also ignore and get ignored. And its not like Shale did not notice this since it placed 2 warbands on my defenses already, but the intelligent minions just move around not doing anything. You can even see some of them walking in front and IN the defenses without much of a scratch. When they do get damaged is when a Banshe of mine reach the enemy core and the explosion affects them.

On screenshot "Bombards not attacking 3 - Cultist not taking dmg" you will find one of many instances where the Bombard projectile HITS a Cultist that it has been ignoring when trying to hit another target like a beast or the core, but the projectile doesn't damage him and ALSO just fades away without creating the bullet explosion that usually results when hitting a target. After that i went after Mira and used Wells of Souls instead, and the results were the same. Not even the Area of effect seem to work and once again any damage they do get is from the Banshees instead.

I was told that this might be the effect of God Mode and creating traps and tiles at will instantly, and that playing normally should not produce these results, so i did it again on normal mode.....it didnt work as they expected.

The results were more or less the same. Went for Shale, made defenses behind their walls and after an eternity of digging the enemy Quartz same thing happened, even another instance of a projectile hitting and not doing damage. But it didnt stop there either. To my shock, some Intelligent Minions DID get shot and promptly dragged to my prison, but only on specific spots as seen on the screenshot marked in red circles. It seems that either the AI started working when minions come from the upper area with the Beast Den, and as soon they are in range they attack and i can attack them. Some even move forward in the direction of my traps from that point before they are defeated!

But other than that you can even see a Crackpot standing in the middle of my defenses and being completely healthy.

I provided 2 saves. The older is during God Mode, the newer is from Normal Mode and the output_log. Seems fairly easy to replicate without fail. Just...go ahead and put defenses near the cores and break the walls.
