Puppet behavior

[adac]

I rarely use puppets so this may be standard behavior; but my puppets don't build military units. Ever. And even as Venice, they don't contribute to World Projects. Is this how they are supposed to work? Obviously I can invest money in buildings and rearrange the build queue (as Venice) but I really wish they would decide to build military units when I am at war and have over a dozen surplus supply (especially when I built the Heroic Epic in a puppet; probably a mistake knowing what I know now).

Puppet never build units. And they contribute to WC projects only if there is no important buildings to build(except Treasure Fleet project, it has higher priority then most buildings).
For Venice is hard to complete WC projects, but it is possible. U need all buildings in cities and not to research a new tech which open new buildings till end of project.
Or to end construction of a building when a project starts(so city will have a chance to start a project)

Well, that's a bummer but thanks for the info. Tough to buy the units as even Venice has money problems in wartime (especially with all my trade routes getting eaten).
