Was this near the start of the game? If so, then it is a problem with the AI not getting out of BuildOrderStrategy quickly enough. While it is in BOS it will neither attack nor defend - in the sense of creating Attackplans and Defendplans. Fortunately any threat to one of its bases will cause it to leave BOS immediately.1. I noticed a single AI cultist/scout/slugga squad standing near hq in a 4vs4 at Kasyr Lutien doing nothing while other squads of the same AI was fighting elsewhere. Any idea, Flenser ? They were 3+ strong so it couldn't be the new code preventig small squads to be included in attacks.
I would guess in the case you describe that (if it was near the start of the game - remembering that it can take the AI a while to work through everything in BOS) the AI had made all the capture plans it wanted to make so there was nothing else for the squad to do. If they were attacked they would have fought back, but otherwise they will just stand there until BOS ends and BBS starts.
If it was not near the start of the game, then I got nuttin'
