Alright, so I've encountered this bug on this account. I use Google Chrome with a Windows 10 OS.

Anyway, this bug occurs in explore. While in a battle in explore, sometimes when I set my wolves to attack a specific target, I will get the message of "[wolf] feels independent," that you get when the wolf does not attack your selected target. However, this message is still appearing even when the wolf does attack the correct target. It does not happen every time, & I haven't noticed it on any wolf other than my wolf Paragon. This doesn't mean that it's not appearing on my other wolves, as I haven't paid too close attention, but as for now she's the only one I've noticed that does this.

Clearly it's not that drastic of a bug, but I figured I'd report it anyways. Sorry if it's already been reported, I did look but didn't find anything similar.

That was likely worded weird, so here's the explanation again: Not a bug, just a disposition thing. The wolf ignored your command, but happened to choose the same enemy to attack at random.

This happens based on the wolf's disposition. That wolf likely isn't obedient, which is why you're getting the independence message. So, when you set them to attack a specific enemy, they act independently and choose their own target. The new target would be random, so there is a chance that they would still hit your assigned target, just not because of you setting it.
