Attacked by Montsters even with Master Scout

from Stardock Forums

I've noticed this happens infrequently - usually when an army of mine and some monster are in close quarters, with multiple ways blocked, often the monster will end up attacking me.

My guess is the pathing AI tells it that it's only option is to go through a spot I either recently occupied or it's imply the only option for it to move, nad I'm in the way, so it attacks. 

Personally, I'm fine with that behavior - I think it's good, but it perhaps needs to be declared in the tool tip or the Hiergamenon as a possibility when getting the Master Scout trait.

You should check to see if this monster was a wildland denizen. The master scout trait does not provide immunity to these creatures as they are not part of the monsters / ruffians group.

Occassionally even regular monsters will attack you.  I think they just "bump" into you by accidentally choosing the same square.

It seems like occasionally master scout breaks, and if you have a large empire and you haven't dealt with the monsters, all of a sudden you will have 3-4 attacks on cities and units in the same turn.  Might be related to re-loading, not sure.
