Details:
I have a dragoon in a city on a hill, and I want to use that dragoon to attack
a cannon on a diagonally adjacent hill. However, the target hill has a river,
which seems to be throwing off the pathfinding.
+---------------------+---------------------+
| Hill+River (Cannon) | Plains |
| Grassland+River | Hill+City (Dragoon) |
+---------------------+---------------------+
When I try to attack the cannon, the dragoon opts to move through the
Grassland+River tile, which would surely by the right move if the other hill
were not occupied. However, in this case such a move results in my dragoon
stepping outside the safety of the city into a relatively hard-to-defend
grassland tile, and throwing one of my cities into disorder for a turn because
I'm running a democracy in the civ2 ruleset.
(I also have a musketeer in that city, which is able to attack without
triggering this bug, but when I do that the cannon wins the fight. I'm not
sure whether that's another bug or there's some rule I'm missing that would
make that make sense.)
I've attached a savegame - the city in question is "Mixcoac".
