[Pathing_Letter_2] Investigations into Pathfinding We are always listening to feedback about Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition and are eager to reveal a project we’ve been working to set up for some time. We hear your concerns about pathfinding and are committed to addressing them. To accomp…

Thanks for you reports, we are looking into both issues. Small tip: if you right click+CTRL, the BBC would have not regrouped around the lumber camp and would have gotten to the intended location without going back.

There are two things that are worth fixing / not making things worse when improving pathfinding Units will randomly stop itself after a few bumps. What’s worse is that this will quickly accumulate and block the entire path and make pathing far worse. When enemy units block each other, the path…

the game is deeply broken to the core. I’m pretty sure it’s not possible to fix the path-finding at all. The only solution is to make a new game engine or maybe an absolute radical overhaul of the current engine. Now they can only add “fixes” on top of “fixes” that only make the behavior astronomic…

Hey, do you have any clips/videos from those situations described? It’s indeed tricky to decide on how long a unit should try and bump and when it should go idle. Sometimes it feels like it’s blocking itself/others if it keeps trying, sometimes you wish it would have tried a bit longer. Do you hav…

Look at this picture. How many vils inside the camp 8 m@a can kill? The answer is ZEROOOOOOOOOOOOO ! (except the wandering vil outside the camp, besides the point). After clicking m@a to attack vils inside the camp they bumbed all over the place and died with 0 kills. This is literally the worst…

why is this hard to make military attack units adjasent to them? The best solution is to make melee units attack all units of the same class as the target that are adjusent. Please fix.

@FE_Nili Please fix Pathfinding!! Units stack pretty often and they do not know what path to go through.

Hey, thanks for your report. We will look into what player actions happened. I think if it was agressive stance right click, it’s actually pretty much the intended behaviour. I know this sounds confusing but M@A were pathing correctly, body blocking correctly and retargeting correctly. If the inpu…
