### Game Version:

- **Build:** 101.103.48987.0 (180059) 24094652
- **Platform:** Steam
- **Operating System:** Windows 11
- **Gamertag:** Covenent

### Issue:

Player2 destroying player7 palisade gate. Then when ordering Rattan Archers to move past the place of the now destroyed gate, the units path around the whole woodline as if the gate was still there. This happens repeatedly in the following minutes. Only when the Rattan Archers are ordered on top of the place where the gate stood, are they pathing as expected going over the place where the gate once stood. This happened repeatedly with two different groups of Rattan Archers.

Game Time: 20:30-22:30

See Screenshots and included save game.

### Reproduction Steps:

Never experienced it earlier in similar situations so I am unsure how it could be reproduced. Have included Save Game that maybe could aid in pinpointing the cause.

Hi @Covenent, I was checking the replay you provided, but it looks like the recent update doesn´t allow me to see what you are describing here.

Did you encounter this issue again since the recent update? if so, could you send us a new replay of it?

Thanks a lot!

Hi @Covenent

I was investigating this issue further, and I was able to observe the issue in your replay. Have you had this issue again since the last update?
