| Summary | 0008915: 3 Axe Lords turned into Administrators after killing an Ettin. | ||||
| Description | An Ettin spawned on my map, sent 3 Axe-Lords to slay it which they did easily. After it died they all turned purple and had the job tag "Administrator". They returned to their normal job title shortly after. | ||||

sounds like this is related and/or a duplicate of 0001789 |

They temporarily "demobilised", i.e. turned to their civilian profession. This sometimes happens after finishing a military order with no direct followup order. Their highest skill was likely "organiser", which should explain the "administrator" title. That their job name changes when they stop being active soldiers is correct and intended behaviour. If they're supposed to be constantly active (i.e. went from active training to the fight, then returned to training), temporarily losing active state after the kill sounds like a bug. (It's not related to 0001789, which only deals with function titles overriding all job names, but not cancelling the "rank-up announcements", resulting in nonsense announcements telling you that the expedition leader "has become an expedition leader".) |
