I was about to report this bug and saw your post, that’s really annoying. Just happened to me with a group of Mangudai, they ran towards the enemy before enter formation. If I keep clicking the right button they just don’t know what to do, it’s a mess. I think it is even worse than before the “fix”.

I’ve been reporting this bug every 4-5 months for the past 2 years. It does feel even worse after the last patch.

I really don’t get what’s up with the devs. Every patch they mention something about pathing being fixed and that exact thing is not fixed. I’m convinced they’re either lying or trolling us at this point.
