Incorrect default tactic type set for DLC / bazaar mounts causing them to chase enemies

Basic Info:

Platform: All
Issue Type: Gameplay
Game Mode: Any
Server Type: Any

Mods: N/A


Bug Description:

The default AI preset for most DLC mounts is incorrectly set to AggressiveChase which causes the tactic type of Chase being set and saved on them.

This results in mounts trying to actually go and stand on the literal location of their top hated enemy rather than trying to avoid them as they normally should if the player didn’t previously sit on the mount since they asked it to follow them.

Here is an image with a print of each horse type existing in the game along with their default AI preset, as you can see only the 4 vanilla horses, camels and the skeleton as well as the hyrkanian bazaar mount are set up correctly, everything else is broken.


Bug Reproduction:

  1. Place an incorrectly set up DLC mount
  2. Without mounting, ask mount to follow
  3. Engage an enemy
  4. Mount will stand right on top of them instead of fleeing

Note

Mounting and dismounting will force the correct behavior temporarily (can be used by players as a workaround in the meantime) since it will set the tactic type to the correct one as the AI controller gers recreated. This however will only last as long as the mount is following them and will revert back to the preset when placed on guard.
