In the attached skirmish game against AI i sent some vils to build a castle on the opposite side of a a stone pile. The first time i just ordered them to move to the future castle site (because i was still halfway through researching Castle age) the second time i actually placed a castle foundation. Both times the vils tried walking through the stone pile, in vain. So i had to place an additional waypoint throught the gates.
Please refer to the the attached replay. 26:50 - 27:10
