[Bug] Cautious route not working.

Post by Arahatree »

Hi,

I have searched on the forums, but this bug is not reported.

I set transport to high initative, controlled by the minister. I set cautious route. Then i tell them to escort a unit, and instead of going there through friendly hexes, they go directly into enemy land to get killed. See screenshots.

Thank you in advance

The transport is that one inside the white box that i drew.

You can see the path the transport is going to take --> through that road in enemy hexes. And it goes there and get killed in the first hex by enemy garrison. I ordered them to escort one of those tanks that are at the right in the screenshot, it's only at 7 hexes distance and it has a safe path to get there, but instead it chooses to cross the border directly into enemy hexes to get killed.

The same happens for transport aircraft. They go directly into enemy airspace (even when i have selected not going through neutral airspace) when i order them to escort any unit in a blitzkrieg.

Do you have a savegame for one of these cases? Would make it easier to test when we get to it.

Hi Balthagor!

Thank you for your fast support.

Off course, i'll upload a saved game. I didn't save that one, because i was just testing barbarossa, but this bug happens always in every scenario and sandbox, so i'll start a new game, start the battle, save the game and upload it here. Tonight or tomorrow morning i'll have time for this and i'll upload it :-)

OK, so i started new game, and the bug is still there. I'm sending you the e-mail with the screenshot and saved game.

Thank you! :)

Tried to replicate this as the US invading Mexico. Pathing seemed fine (although the transport units usually did end up dying one was or the other from flanking attacks or artillery). Tried sending it to escort various units pushing forward with the initiative on.

I did notice it would cross the odd enemy hex, although this was usually limited to the one located behind the unit being escorted.

Sometimes they go the right path when the path is straight in front of them, when the path is really easy. However, if the path to get to the unit to escort goes a bit to the right or left, they go through enemy land.

I already tested it many times in new games (to avoid corrupted saved games), right now in the next screenshot i show you again the same problem, i just tested it again. As you can see, the path they chose to the tank i ordered to escort goes crossing enemy land. You can see the path in green, because i configured the UI to show the path of selected units.

If you could test it in the conditions of the next screenshot, could you tell me if it's working?

Thank you in advance :-) :-) :-)
