I encountered this issue yesterday via build 158041 through Steam, while playing a Return of Rome scenario. Over 15 villagers became stuck shortly after being tasked with chopping trees. It appears that an initial group attempted to take a direct route to the town center, while others tried to reach the trees, resulting in a traffic jam. Ideally, each unit should try to free itself and complete its assigned task.

I just see this bug when playing Alexander on “Cicilian Gate” as need to collect large amount of resource.

Tend to occur on lumberjack when finish the tree. Way to fix is to order those villagers to build lumber camp, then they’ll auto gather wood without care that tree they cutting is out.

I think issue is on code about villager to find new resource when run out is broken, especially when order to collect from 1 place.
