pathfinding

[Amallric]

Not sure if someone already reported on this but the default pathfinding sucks big time in AoD. Dunno if it's related to infra somehow or not but you can get like 1/3 of travel time less if you tell the unit to go province per province instead of relying on the game pathfinding.

This isn´t an AoD bug. IIRC this already happened in ARMA (though it´s quite some time since I played that one).

please report from / to and alternative route so we can check

I don't know but I have the impression it got worse in Aod you know with that yellow arrow.

How much do you need? For instance(AoD vanilla 1.05 1936) for Germany:
XIIth Corps from Dortmund to Cologne, suggested route: direct, ETA January 3rd, 1300
Better route: Dortmund-Essen-Cologne, ETA: January 3rd, 0600

VIIth Corps from Munich to Saarbrücken, suggested route: Munich-Nuremberg-Frankfurt-Saarbrücken, ETA January 13th 2100
Better route: Munich-Friedrichhaven-Stuttgart-Saarbrücken, ETA January 11th 0600

Confirmed and fixed.

The first case is a problem.
What if you want to attack colonge from dortmund?
If i always give the best time, you cant.. the pathfind will always move the unit to Essen first, as thats faster than the direct route.
So i made exception for 1 province movements: if there is a direct path - use it. (same as before)

The second case works much better now though. (will be in 106B2)
