Smuggler Icon- perhaps a tell?

So, I figured the smuggler's neat little swallow will change direction based on which way the speedy guy is flying. However, while playing with the Time Wheel, my opponents smuggler that was stationed at a command post changed positions from its original left to Right facing at the arrival of reinforcement drillers.

At the time, my opponent was being attacked by his neighbor to his right- so I have a bit of a theory.

So I'm curious if this change in icon might be a tell- that he might be moving that smuggler as soon as those reinforcements arrive to the right.

Is the icon movement just rando?

TL;DR
Smuggler icon movement may indicate future direction the smuggler is heading.

Nope. Means nothing. I've noticed it too. Sometimes it'll switch when it's just hanging out at my outposts too

I think what you meant to say was that the Smuggler's icon- when not depicting his direction- all ways points to what his heart desires most.

Yes, incredibly similar. Except what the Smugglers heart desires is not a beautiful woman or the Black Pearl or immortality.
The smuggler desires a different kind of treasure.
