Architect - Escort to X issues

I've noticed a couple of problems with the new "Escort to X" option for the Escort objective in the AE system.

  • While attempting to create an objective chain consisting of glowies and escorts, I discovered that setting two distinct collections as both trigger and destination of an escort brings about a cyclic dependency error.
    e.g.: Escort1 -> Collection1 -> Escort2 -> Collection2 #In this case, Escort2 will be flagged as having a cyclic dependency on the destination, Collection2.
  • When a collection is the destination of an escort, it is impossible to trigger an ambush from the same collection object. In this case, an error appears reading: "There is more than one ambush attached to a single objective."

In the case of the first issue, it seems to be a false positive, as the mission can be tested without a problem via the Test button outside of the editor, under the Publish button.

I have another problem, always regarding circular dependency.
I create this very simple chain: escort character (activated at mission beginning) -> collecting object (activated at escort's end).
Initially (begin of May) it worked perfectly, then suddenly it started to warn me about the circular dependency (how could it be that event A start after event B and vice versa when A is already active and running?).
Now I'm forced to substitute the Escort with an Ally (the solution I used before I17). -.-
