Summary0001012: Armageddon Spell Not Functioning As Intended
DescriptionHow it Should Work:

A scaled down number of followers should be spawned into each tribe's relevant 'segment' up to 120 followers. All followers should then charge to the middle and engage in a fight to the death, with the followers continuously trying to kill each other until only one tribe's followers remains.

What actually happens:

Believed to be because the patrol feature is not working as intended, all followers charge to the middle, but instead of trying to fight, different tribes behave in different ways. Some tribes firewarriors will fire correctly, whereas the entire population of other tribes will charge forward and attempt to run on the 'patrol' point. They won't engage in combat themselves unless engaged, meaning 69 (noice) warriors could easily be cut down by a few firewarriors
Steps To ReproduceThe bug appeared during a 1v1 on Pressure Point with the players being Yellow and Red, the clear winner of the Armageddon should have been yellow, but his entire population refused to fight and died to FW AoE:

- Launch Pressure Point
- 1 Player as Red, 1 player as yellow
- Yellow prays to arma
- Yellow casts arma

This may be a bigger issue that affects more than these tribes, but this was merely the situation where the bug was first observed.
Additional InformationThis bug was first observed as part of Populous: The Beginning's Beta Tournament. Sub_Zero vs Med and was a cause of controversy amongst the community as a result. Thus I would class this as one of the more serious bugs in the game, at its current point in time

Followers are spawned in the Arma arena as expected and assigned a guard post in the place the spell is cast as expected.

There is some issue with the guard post/patrol attack code where the FWs are moving perpendicular to the guard post rather than towards it
