When dealing with long, interconnected bitter villages via laser turret spam I ran out of turrets to creep further. I also had no reason to grab them from the end, and start again. In the typical situation, once I pack my toys and leave general area of bitter aggressiveness, they simply give up. This is not the case here. Nearby villages spawn a bitter every couple seconds that goes after the area from which I started the turret creep. By 'nearby' I mean about 2/3rds of Radar radius. They do not target me as I moved around, they do not go after closer turrets, they just mindlesly spawn and attack the place which I started attacking from.

I am submitting save game with this particular problem.

Sounds to me like you just really pissed them off and they've decided that this time you're not getting away with it

They chose a place near your first turrets as a meeting place for an attack on your base. That's why they come there – to gather for an attack. It is just by random chance that the place is near where you started your turret creep.

So, not a bug. Just a happy (or sad) incident. They should stop doing that eventually.
