The mobility of the cavalry : move, secondary ZoC and automatic path

Which is a very good example of why it wouldn't be a good idea to allow the scripts to search for devious alternative routes!

It would improve the tactical fun of the fast dynamics of the cavalry, by adding one option (tactical move)...



...instead of, when units currently meet, the only 3 options : charge, wait or avoidance :

In order to remove the secondary ZoC in the game, you need to change only one parameter in FUNCTION CheckRouteNotZOCd(me, ignoreLastTile) (TOOLS.bsf)
unit = SquareZOCd(x, y, me, 1, 0, 0);
The last parameter is wideZoC (1 - on, 0 - off)
Do this change in ...\Documents\My Games\FieldOfGlory2\CAMPAIGNS\(scenario name)\DATA\Scripts\, having previously copied there TOOLS.bsf
As a result, we'll get almost P&S situation with ZoC:

I see, but its WAD. The thing is you should earn these maneuver by superior game mechanics knowledge and strategy instead of them being cheap like you suggest here.

I'm not sure if everything I show on screenshots is right, cause I'm not tested it, but that's the first things that came to my mind.




Edit: there is a mistake on screenshot #3. You won't have free turn left, but you still can move into square shown by green arrow.

@ Cronos : I'll try it as soon as I have some time. Thank you !
Knowing that I currently play P&S with FoG2 flank rules and Vanilla FoG2 Medieval, things might become confusing

@SuitedQueens : Thank you for this lesson of 'superior game mechanics knowledge and strategy'.
