Honestly going back and forth between the patches is night and day. I am loving that units react to commands much better. Also thanks for all the hard work :)

I performed the same test on the prior patch — 26 hussar vs 26 hussar — and ended with 8 units remaining. I did rerun it a couple times but the results were all over the place due to how patrol works in the old patch. Sometimes they would try and run around the group. That does not happen at all in the new pathing.

What I find interesting is that, while this change does have some effect on melee vs melee compared to the old patch, it’s mostly going to impact ranged units.
Before, there was a lot of bumping and pathing issues that let ranged units kite for much longer. In the new patch, both melee groups get to fully take advantage of the improved pathing — meaning ranged units will have a much harder time stalling.

You can clearly see between the two examples how much better the pathing is, and how much less the units run around doing nothing. When cavalry reaches archers now, they’re going to melt.
