The allocation algorithme has been fixed and tuned. Savegames can't be reloaded. Please retest with latest version (alpha14, you can wait until alpha15 which will be released soon).

I tried twice to attach the game file, it does not seem to work. If you are interested in it, please give me an ftp upload location (it is about 5 MB, so not really suitable for mailing).

Constructed a 512x512 game with 4 major and multiple smaller islands, separated by large seas. After playing for a long time, when workers of one tribe are already dispersed over many islands, they just wander about aimlessly, even though there would be enough work to do nearby.

It seems that the algorithm which computes what to do does not prefer local over remote work. Thereby, workers are mostly looking for ways to cross the sea, which they can't as they are untrained. Instead of doing anything useful, they just wander around until all die.

This suspected cause might also be wrong. Another cause might be that with the high number of units (> 500), something starts going wrong. Another cause may be that after a long time of playing, some other parameters wander off completely.

Attached is a file of the scenario near the end of the game.
