Blocked Paths?

[redhen]

Is anyone else seeing paths blocked by characters? I tried to send a priest down through a mountain valley (Alps) to burn a heretic but his path went all the way around the mountains, not through the valley, which would have been a short trip. The narrow valley had about 5 other individual characters in it.

On the same note, I had a crusader army that couldn't go through certain mountain passes, i.e. Milan, etc. I thought you didn't need a Military Access agreement to pass through nations with a crusader army?

Same here. Agents cannot pass normal armies. I hope it's a bug not a feature, I'm already annoyed enough by the game.

I've got a major irritant with the blocking of armies, the initial 'green' movement area shows another army with red ring around it where you can't go without getting held next to that army. But the 'green' area shows that you can get to a point behind the army that you wish to go to. Then the path that the army choses when you order it to that point takes it into the army red ring :(

Crusades moving by land now are a terrible chore ;(

I'm having a terrible time with this...

1.) Sending a crusade from England through northern france. This is a very bottlenecked area, with trees, hills, etc. Unless I move them 1 tile at a time, they inevitably run into a red zone and stall.

2.) I move my princess up north through spain. She gets blocked by Pamplona. Fair enough, but then I get a Relationship worsened - Portugal = Abysmal. WHA!?!?
