We dont have the reousrces to manually add you if you can't receive the beta mails unfortunately. We just don't have the time

Please pay close attention to evades & routs. These should be much more predicatble now. They only burst through if they start the move adjacent, otherwise stop when they meet friends they cannot pas through. They prefer to pass through routers than steady friends. Let us know if it this fixes all the issues we had with them.

Not directly related to routing paths but how about a CMT for any unit that 'stops' a router?

Patch 1.2.3 seems to have 'lost' my 600pt MP with Holien (English v Irish). The previous patch, 1.2.2 didn't cause any problems.

Shame, it was shaping up to be a grand dust up.

I think I have seen twice AI units routing through friends when other hexes where unoccupied. In both cases it was the second move of the routed unit (in the first move they correctly moved through an empty hex).

Edit: Please ignore the above comment. After seeing more AI routs, I'm no longer sure about it. It may just be that I didn't take into account the zoc of my units.
