Agreed.

It might be an idea to implement this on the server side. In particular, I

have more sentried units than a ferry' capacity, it shouldn't randomly
split a bodyguard from its charge. It would also be faster.

AFAIK, the framework is ready, but there is only one person working on
agents, and that is Raimar.
