Yeah Im getting some problems like that. The thing is thought that on SP it isn't too big a deal and doesn't really cause too many problems. On MP (I've yet to play) I'm sure it causes big troubles. The most annoying one for me is when the general is attacking somebody in town it will sometimes take the path straight through the enemy instead around like i told him. Have lost valuable people doing that and now mostly keep my general out of big melees even if he had a great charge from behind ill hesitate and really consider doing it.
