Open Palms random order behaviour..

[ZaZen]

So i have noticed this on almost all of my open palms games, orders changing and going to random places.

I know i make the mistake of not taking one engineer off attack move before i queue up his reclaim and expansion order so he sits there confused. A bad habit i often do.. and i put the damn first factory on reclaim GRRR..

However at about 4.15 random reclaim orders start to appear from my engineers to points in front of the bottom base and the engineer told to spam power decides to go and make one pg right in front of his base. This happens almost every game i play mainly when i get top spot. As i have not noticed it happening on any other map i dont think its a bug with my game.

Is this normal for this map ? or am i cursed,

You can put the factory on reclaim? I assume you mean the auto move-attack order.

Anyway, the random reclaim orders showing up happens to me sometimes as well, and I think also to other players. This issue is not limited to Open Palms.

In case an engineer gets confused, or you have to cancel his order (whatever it is - attack-move, build stuff, patrol, reclaim stuff), just press "S" when you select the engineer. I don't think you can really forget that, but in a hectic moment it could happen.

You can put the first fac on reclaim but the acu walks and reclaims and murders your start. Yeah either stop them or just move them slightly to cancel the order. Just pointing out my mistakes before some one else told me

So its not just me then, that's good.. i think. Only ever noticed it on Open Palms but it does it everytime i play that map. Although the engineer ignoring my power spam order and deciding the best place to put one is in front of the enemy base is a new one..

Thanks for the reply, was close to reinstalling it all to try and fix it.
