Battleplanner shouldn't reposition divisions through enemy territory

[bitmode]

Thanks; I do indeed exclusively use spearheads.

To be clear I just meant the shape of the front line (narrow stripe into enemy territory), not the type of attack order used.

So here goes (again, this is based on version 1.5.3):
I simplified the scenario some more; a single division (left) assigned to a front line that is connected to its own control area* but cut off by a battle.

In this case the 4th pathing type seems to be used first. It does not allow moving on enemy controlled provinces and into existing land combats, i.e. the usual pathing that's used for front shuffling. This path search fails in this case.
If the target province is in the same control area* or another condition in the control area is met, the 2nd pathing type gets tried. This happens in my example. The 2nd pathing type allows moving onto any province where the combined HP of all enemies is less than the unit's own HP. Yes, really.

*a collection of provinces that are contiguously connected with each other and controlled by the same tag

Edit: the alternative condition is that the unit's current control area has no coastal provinces

Still happening in 1.9; at least in this screenshot it's winning

This still counts as necromancy IMO, you should make a new thread and link the old one.

You do realise what you're suggesting makes no sense though? Also, necromancy is frowned upon but not prohibited (as per the language in the rules).

Copy and paste the link to this old thread, and post it in the OP of the new thread.
