emergant factions bug

[Sligo Rags]

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, but on several different campaign play throughs, it seeks like the emergant factions do nothing. They spawn for a few turns, hang out where they spawn, and then get wiped out. Even the Sheikah, who just hang around Kakariko all game. The wizzrobes don't set up churches, and instead try to bribe my generals and cities. Is this a known bug, or am.I just missing something?

I don't know if it's a bug, but I've noticed the same thing. I think the AI just isn't smart enough to take the more unconventional approach required for those factions.
