Yeah, the cause was the AI was trying to do a restricted move, which normally would do the "pop up" to tell you to not do it.

But, the AI kept doing it. (kept telling the skeletons to use warp gates) I was surprised it did not loop forever. It would eventually choose a new command but it took a LONG time.

It is sort of tricky to fix. The easy approach was just to do a universal pop up. Obviously, not a good idea since the AI can trigger this.

I suppose all they need is a conditional in there to tell it to simply not try to do [insert list of restricted moves] at all in the decision tree for the AI.

What is freaky is that, it still buffered all of those commands even AFTER I won the match. Maybe the game had some kind of built in "top cap limit" on the number of errors in the buffer.

I thought it was a doomed game, but I kept clicking the pop up and it eventually went away.

I suppose from that angle, it was well written.
