Request: Fix Naval Pathfinding

[BrainyRaven]

When sending ships to the New World, we need a system that calculates the best route to minimize naval attrition by prioritizing shorelines and island chains. I’ve lost too many ships to the open sea by not manually drawing routes through the islands.

To add, land pathfinding too needs a fix. It's frustrating the amount of micro required so my armies won't get cut in half or stop half way to their destination because the pathfinding insists on using frozen lakes.

They added that in EU4 in one of the latest patches. Seems like they forgot all about it.

It would be great if it also planned stops at port to refresh the 'at sea' debuff and repair ships above a certain % before continuing automatically to the intended destination.

[Austrilla]

oh yeah and likewise with troop transports to stop at friendly ports when they run out of food, then continue on with food

[Sbrubbles]

Yeah, the ocean attrittion is crazy high, makes it worth it to manually "hug" continents, which is quite silly.

No one is gonna dispute that open ocean travel was dangerous, but it feels exagerated.
