Has anyone else noticed the same Footman behavior?

@MickDodge

and noted that my Footmen made it a habit to remain in close proximity of my farm area (or crops).

I believe, right now, this is intended behavior [Totally Not A Bug, We Swear™ ] but the team knows it’s not a very good solution and is planning on putting in a proper patrol system later.

For now, I think @Wiese2007’s patrol points mod still works:

[A20+] Patrol Points

Heyho! I have made a little mod - with this your soldiers doenst patrol the stockpiles or the large crates/urns anymore. You can now create patrol points with the carpenter and place them everywhere you think your soldiers should patrol when you have more patrol points then soldiers your soldiers will patrol between them For this: you need at best to start a new game or you must destroy every field, large crate, fine large crate, large urn and stockpile you have and place them …
