Something that i noticed a lot is that the Farm Plots are where your troops always hang out and patrol around and many times when a battle start they are far away at the farms and if you do these tricks with putting just one row and grow more in the same area they will patrol forever at each of these rows because they are separate rows.
Feels to me at least that patrolling should be done a distance from all houses everything built because that’s what they should protect not only the farm plots.
Pretty much patrol in the home zone rather than a specific farm plot ect
I noticed the same thing early on. I don’t quite get the logic behind focusing on farm plots so heavily when setting the patrol path, but I did end up using it to my advantage. If you have a walled off city with one or two main entrances and exits, placing your farms by those entrances will make it much more likely soldiers will be where they need to be.
I think a quick fix for this (before putting more thought into it) is to simple decrease the chances of picking a farm area compared to a stockpile. (considering they should patrol the farms, else just remove them from their sight)
