Suicide automation: never seen that before

[BSPollux]

I realized I had those useless warriors and set them to auto-explore.

A few turns later one of them embarked, sailed next to a barb camp on a hill and attacked the pikemen therein. He died instantly.

Did you ever see such an unprovoked suicide from an automated unit?
I ask myself what caused this? Is life such a pain in my kingdom?

This kind of things happens with my scouts, when I send them to a place under the fog. And I say "stupid scout! can't you stop before!"
But in automation, never.

Even on manual, scouts die alot, >unless< you only move them only one hex each turn....(so they can back away if spotted). Don't think the AI does that.

I didnt click 'into the dark'. I click the 'auto scout' button.

And im used to them getting killed. But I never saw them start an attack that would kill them instantly, thats what amazes me
