AI fleets skipping past my blockading fleet
<<version is 0.4.9 2020-03-02.89280c7>>
I have a fleet parked blockading and AI opponent's home system. It's been there for several turns while I wait for reinforcements to arrive before resuming my offensive:
Before image (attached)
Next turn, the AI decides to pull their fleets back to cover the home system:
After image (attached)
It appears they were able to bypass my defending fleet without combat. Should that be possible? (I verified that my fleet was in aggressive mode, FWIW.)
Save file from the "before" turn (attached, compressed with 7Zip)
Advancing two turns, both fleets I marked with arrows in the screenshots skip past my blockade without combat.
Sorry for the poor quality of the images: I was unable to use screen capture, as it just gives me a black screen (game is in fullscreen mode) so I used my phone camera to capture images.

Re: AI fleets skipping past my blockading fleet
I had an idea, so I unstacked my Juggernaut from my fleet, and now the AI can't skip past my blockade anymore. Apparently, domesticated space monsters have some different setting that allows player fleets to avoid them under certain circumstances.

Re: AI fleets skipping past my blockading fleet
I uploaded before/after images and a .sav file, but apparently only the 1st file was accepted. However, I also uploaded them on github as requested, so you can get them there.

Re: AI fleets skipping past my blockading fleet
There are no attachments on the github bug report either... https://github.com/freeorion/freeorion/issues/2799
Re: AI fleets skipping past my blockading fleet
I guess I'll have to get another game and duplicate it again. I no longer have the .sav on my system.
Re: AI fleets skipping past my blockading fleet
This has happened to me too. If you attach more than one file and then edit the message, only one attachment will be there. Forum bug I guess.
Github does not have that problem.

Re: AI fleets skipping past my blockading fleet
Yeah, I ran into some attachment weirdness. I think it might have happened with Preview as well.
Re: AI fleets skipping past my blockading fleet
I'm trying to duplicate the problem, but it's a very specific condition: I have to have a fleet with monster(s) in it, then I have to get it in a position where the AI wants to send a fleet past my blockade. Mostly they prefer to just attack rather than trying to bypass me.
Re: AI fleets skipping past my blockading fleet
An alternative could be to create a local multiplayer game with medium/high monsters (to ensure that you get plenty of monster nests) and two human players (two freeorion clients connected to the localhost server). The bug should apply to AI and human players.Dragget wrote: ↑Mon Apr 06, 2020 7:38 am I'm trying to duplicate the problem, but it's a very specific condition: I have to have a fleet with monster(s) in it, then I have to get it in a position where the AI wants to send a fleet past my blockade.

Re: AI fleets skipping past my blockading fleet
Single player saves are preferable, when possible, though; they are easier to test.
