Even after some minutes on x64 speed. They stay in a constant radius around of the original castle position. Latest 2.0 snapshot.

And I just saw on the screenshot that my soldiers are not returning to their building or my castle, they joined the crowd.

In Settlers 1 they will never die. This was added to Settlers 2.

I think your knights are still trying to reach a spot inside the crowd.

@stepo2 : Please provide your savegame if available.

Really? Why are the maps so empty then after defeating three AI players?

Here is the zipped save file:

Settlers will die inside a stock or the castle if it is burning. Only few settlers will escape. The AI sometimes sends settlers out of a stock near the border. I think this is done to distract enemy knights or to save more settlers if the stock is burning.

If you wait for destoying the castle until the settlers running around are moved inside, less settlers will be on the map after defeat. I think something like this happened in your game. Although at least one path has to be attached to the castle or stock for the settlers to find their way inside (kind of a bug in the original game).

If something is weird in Serflings please try to check the original game (DOS version preferably because History Edition introduced some bugs). The savegames are compatible to the original game so just load them there.
