I never hear people complain anymore about the pathfinding, its just plain awful! Units bump causing horrible economic catastropies and when you build in a small area units get trapped running into a house trying to get to the gather point, when you control them however they get there just fine... forget about the balance for now fix the cheaters and this! I know u guys are gonna say dont build in a small area so go ahead and say it but its still no excuse for the bad pathfinding...

Archers are better then they should be because of the terrible pathfinding of their melee counters, like huskarl.

Although I'm sure they are working on improving it, the pathfinding is really not worse than any other game out there. Most other games either use more simpler maps or cheat by letting units walk through each other. In the meantime the player can learn what the risk of having a dozen caravan donkeys going through a forest is, and avoid most of the problem by planning ahead.
