Movement calculation broken in China

Post by Duedman »

Hi all,

in my current match I noticed several times that units were able to cross at 1 AP cost where they never should be able to do this.
In the following link this can be seen.
Additional info: The unit had 3 AP at the start. Made a prepared attack -1, swapped -1 and then could have moved into mountains.

I consider this a bug and tried not to abuse it.

There is a bit of code in there that if a unit is completely stuck, e.g. cannot move anywhere, and not because of enemy units (I believe), just stuck due to supply level and terrain, then it will be given a minimum 1 AP movement in any direction, to get it unstuck.

I'm guessing this is what is happening here
