Convoying resources from US to UK.

[Lord Drakken]

I can't emphasize enough how much of a pain in the arse trying to repath resources through ports and convoys is.

With that said the most retarded thing in the world is when the program insists on shipping US oil resources to the UK through New Bern. The port is literally 1 hex SW of Norfolk. By doing so the resources use up an extra convoy in the Caribbean.

No matter how many times I try to get a hang of finding a new route for a resource I cannot get it to work easily. Clicking on that world map that pops up and trying to hit a port with your clicks is ridiculous. Perhaps I am doing it wrong... but the AI pathing is flat out awful and should always default to the route that uses the least number of convoys.

On the other hand I do appreciate your efforts in making this game for everyone. At this point I have given in to just wasting convoys in the Caribbean because I cannot take it any more.

I would like to have a saved game so I can see what you see.

You shouldn't need to route resources by selecting individual land hexes. If you select the resource from the resources/factories list, you should only need to click on the first sea area in the overseas path. The program will find a port that can be reached from the resource via rail lines, such that the port is also adjacent to the sea area.
