Summary0026697: Exowar units not being used against the faction they are supposed to be.
DescriptionSee attached save: A Chimera artillery is about to spawn against humanity and allies on Bressua. In 5 out of 5 tests, the artillery immediately changes to Not After You, Hunting Spire Sphere, and just sits there. If you look at all the other exowar units sitting around, you can see this happens fairly often.

I'm reasonably sure this bug is not related to Splintering Spire, I've seen something that looks almost exactly like it before against a number of other factions since before the beta period, but they were all with various mods so I couldn't report it before. (No common mod in those times, either.)

This is definitely not Splintering Spire specific
Happened over 5 times to me on my "crazy game" today (without Splintering Spire), and I didn't even get to see the Chimeras. Probably went to fight the Dark Zenith.

Them sitting there is a bug related to planet ownership that I ran into while making Hydral. It appears they only attempt to attack planets that they believe themselves capable of removing ownership/influence from, and due to the Sphere being indestructible, they do not try. Looking into alternatives.

That would make sense. So them being spawned against the Sphere in the first place is bug 1, then bug 2 makes them sit still. That fits with the other times I've observed bug 1, actually, the AI had no problem using the units in quite a few of those cases.

Fixed the two bugs related to this.

Spheres will now properly apply their budget to the Friendly to Players budget pool. This will also apply to any other factions that have more complicated allegiance logic.

Units targeting spheres will no longer be lazy.
