Attached is an autosave from the start of turn 81, and a manual save from the end of the same turn.



I'm playing the game. Turn 81 starts. Winter turns to summer. A green necrophage army lays siege to my capital. I attack and capture one of their cities. I shuffle some heroes and build queues around, move my armies, etc. When I think I'm done with the turn, instead of clicking "next turn", I decide to take a break, so I save my game.



Later, I load up that game. Suddenly, the army that was sieging my city is now attacking it instead. It occurs to me that I've seen a couple of situations where the AI armies suddenly moved after loading a saved game when they hadn't during the initial play, and that seems a bit odd. Nevertheless, I was kind of surprised they hadn't attacked my city the first time around, so I figured maybe I deserve it.



After fighting (and losing) the battle, I scan quickly through my other cities, and I notice that city I just captured this turn now shows me as having 20% ownership. I'm pretty sure it was at 0% before. (Possibly relevant: I did move in a roving clans hero with +150% ownership recovery from skills.)



I decide to load up the autosave from the start of the turn to verify that the AI is really behaving differently. Imagine my surprise when, this time, it's still winter!



So, here's an autosave where it's winter, and a manual save from later the same turn where it's summer. Also where I magically got 20% ownership in a city I didn't control at the start of the turn.

Several of those things could possibly be working as intended--for example, maybe the exact time of the season change isn't decided until it happens and the autosave is from before start-of-turn random events. Or maybe the AI is supposed to re-evaluate the situation on game load in case it wasn't finished thinking when the save occurred.



But when I save a game and come back later, I want to come back to the same situation I left. I don't want to have to worry about the strategic ramifications of taking my break this turn vs. next turn because the AI is going to change its mind if I do. If the AI wants to decide to attack the city instead of sieging it on the grounds that I captured their city, that's fair--but it should do it immediately, not only if I save and reload.



And I'm reasonably confident that the 20% ownership thing, at least, is a bug.
