Killing the cleric sounds like a good solution but even when the cleric is down, he can still heal people.

Have you tried unchecking the job boxes for the cleric and the footmen so that the footmen will go eat completely?

Thanks for the report and the savegame! The problem was that the knights thought the cleric was in combat (because it had a target) and would run to him to join the combat. I’ve checked in a fix so that it only counts as combat when the target is unfriendly, which fixes this behavior. It will be included in the next unstable push.

I also noticed that your save throws an error about restoring timers on load. Any idea how you ended up with that error?

Yeah, it still didn’t work

Thanks for the fix! And I don’t know why that’s happening… Sorry!
