Cairo pathing

[full flame]

Good morning!

The devs would like YOUR help to optimise the Cairo map, if you encounter pathing issues, please screenshot and share them here, ideally with the coordinates included in the screenshot.

Please let’s all work together to improve the event!

When posting your screenshots please comment your uid and there will be some rewards for your feedback

😍

Thank you!

@everyone

[tough cedar]

Fix the path finding 1st and foremost

[full flame]

So you need to report issues here to help, with coords

[regal tusk]

Just the overall visibility of the roads is bad, ill try to find some examples

[full flame]

I agree

[regal tusk]

It's technically all sand area, the grass area is easily seen but in the sand area you gotta look real good. Maybe give the roads a darker or even lighter color, now it blends in way to good

That's probably the easiest solution 😅 it's Cairo so sand is required, just the roads are barely visible

A few examples, if it helps I can try to find some cords lol

[manic ravine]

Just delete this map

[cerulean vessel]

The map is good

[uneven radish]

If they chucked the coalition nonsense it would be fine.

All you need is a good supply officer who knows where road connections are.

[violet swift]

fck cairo

worse than moscow

[verbal pier]

Just make it opened like mosqow we have some bad enemys that sleeps 24/7 so we are bored

[foggy crest]

They really need to do more coding for this :))

[karmic drift]

I think it's a bug

[violet swift]

and base truck is even worse!!

[hidden trench]

Instead of searching for the fast direct path. It’s wanting to take units along the roads for some reason. So if you’re not traveling short distances the groups kind of do what they want over two turrets before falling in line.

The following road paths is fine over long distances but when going over 2-3 turrets it should just be shortest route possible

[strong ocean]

Add joystick so we can freely control our unit

[karmic drift]

Last ToC I encounter that bug

[modest crane]

[violet swift]

i send coordenate march with MB and L and it goes crazy, i try to correct and it keeps getting worse

i basicly have to move 10km each time

[dense kernel]

they could add a 3D view sitting at the wheel and drive it yourself to target 😅

[violet swift]

instead of going around, most of the time paths make this stupid corners

it tries to catch the road it seems

just like here

and if you on south coalition , theres a massive bug on this mountain

[lone urchin]

Noticed this frequently and was confused why. Typically has issues when encountering any obstacles it doesn’t go back on course after passing. Will try and catch a screenshot next time. Just had it occur right before seeing post.

[strong ocean]

I feel like the units are coded to get to the closest road

Instead of choosing closer distance

[violet swift]

every single time units go to that exact point to go up or right

and its not even road

[strong ocean]

It might be pathwalk

[chilly fox]

Unfortunately, my truck got stuck in a terrible way, and I had to leave Cairo. However, my base was still under fire.

[violet swift]

some ToC ago they said they would fix paths we were in Rome, it got even worse

[cerulean vessel]

I didn't have any issues with pathing in Cairo this season

[violet swift]

and base truck bro... u see enemy coming, adjust position to set base and truck stops and stays thinking for a few seconds...................

[strong ocean]

Me too.

[violet swift]

im a field player so i had the problem frequently

[cerulean vessel]

I ran field AGs, 0 issue

[violet swift]

yap, a lot or even worse

[lone urchin]

Quick example. Not sure why some stuff goes direct towards hill when it is a straight line above-32227847

[strong ocean]

The pathing still bad but it got slight better

[violet swift]

weird, i had my arties doing some weird corners!

[cerulean vessel]

You got edgy arties 🤣

[violet swift]

with enemy near its a liability

arty almost goes knock their door lol

[lone urchin]

Been there seen that and facepalmed a few times recently due to this

[violet swift]

a lot of times, my safe zone is at south, units decide to go north with enemy bases

straight to the wolf mouth

[cerulean vessel]

I feel like people having pathing issues are the people driving/walking to a too far x/y position

If you got a bit by a bit it's fine

[dense kernel]

that should not be an "excuse", regardless short or long haul, pathway should remain accurate as much as possible

[violet swift]

that aint far

[dense kernel]

that too lol

[chilly fox]

Please add balloons to the trucks so that transportation over hills and mountains seems more logical.

[violet swift]

ahahaha

oh look this magnificent path to join AG

i couldnt do worse if i wanted to

[dense kernel]

that wins!

[violet swift]

i had some like that in moscow 🤮

[violet swift]

send it straight to support service!

with a lovely text

[fiery elk]

A little too late, it’s almost over

[frail idol]

The grass areas look fine. It is the roads that folks are having a problem viewing.

[violet swift]

Not to talk how retardedd help service is in this game!

stupid answers it didnt have any mountain

sometimes they make me believe help center workers dont know sht of this game

[calm orbit]

O sweet another suggestion box for you Devs to ignore and everyone to waste energy on

[dense kernel]

well, let's hope not

but it has been ignored several times in the past indeed

[strong ocean]

LOLL this one is the worst

I mean the best

[north meteor]

I'd say out of all maps this sucks the most, it doesn't help at all how matchmaking puts you together with alliances that are not in your time zone and do nothing. Coalitions is just bs. Aegan had offered a very nice system regarding Coalition making. I would rather see that in every conquest. Now to the map, Cairo has been by far our most bad lvl 4 so far, every time we have to play it. I think it is a very restrictive map compared to others, that also means far less action or just with maybe one or two (or none) alliances depending on eventuallities. I have to literally zoom in to MAYBE see the road connecting to anything, path-making is still not great yet and i questioned why the units have gone they way they did but other than that not too bad. Generally this map fells very linear and the extra buildings feel like giving no real value except some extras you might or might not do. If you want, fights do not expand on the linear direction, at least I did not see much of it this time. The Map (Conquest Cairo) feels like some thoughts went into it, for it being one of the first lvl 4's but it screams for a rework of the entire map since it got almost no know-how from later Released maps

[regal tusk]

Cairo is not the worst map, just the coalition system and the roads are baaad

Make the coalition system like Agean sea instead

And make the roads better visible

[regal tusk]

I bet he just tried some stuff for the rewards lol

[static prism]

infinite money glitch

[regal tusk]

But the pathfinding issue is in all conquests. Biggest issue in Cairo is the bad visibility of the roads connecting villages

[full flame]

This won’t be ignored

My project

I’m all over it

I hate this map

[full flame]

All part of the same issue

[regal tusk]

What are the rewards?

[dense kernel]

That’s great to know man, appreciate the input!

[full flame]

The help team are there to support

Don’t forget it isn’t their first language

They asked for the coordinates psi they could check it

[full flame]

I’ll look after ya, don’t worry

[regal tusk]

You don't know my uid

Now you so if you scroll up xD

[cinder karma]

All the paths in « warpath » suck… it’s been like that since day 1…

10 times a day you need to manually move your troops so they don’t waste precious minutes

[wild plume]

Overall the pathfinders is better than day 1 but still crazy sometimes. Short ways are good but long ways the unit choose crazy ways to drive.

[violet swift]

problem is it used to be good and now it got worse

something on their code made it become this bad

[regal tusk]

It's because the grids are hexagonal, it makes it glitch eventually. (Atleast that's what I heard, maybe Alex can confirm or deny it)

[dense kernel]

The coding of the game is poorly optimised on many fronts, performance is probably the worst we’ve seeing in the last couple of months I’d say, specially in combat situations or the likes of can be determinant, but that to another topic of discussion

[stone pebble]

I don’t have a picture, but instead of going straight to it (Completely unobstructed path), it decides to go around a sand dune-mountain range, and makes what could’ve been 5 minutes walk to 25 minutes

[zealous linden]

We cannot distinguish the road paths. It cannot be seen on the sand. Very hard to find the preferred path under these circumstances

[warm trellis]

I don’t have any photos or videos but I’ve seen trucks and units get completely stuck on the map and the only way to bring them back is retraining them or airlifting

[warm trellis]

That one fuckin bad 😂😂😂

[worldly sundial]

yeah

[full flame]

Arti ag basically impossible to run in certain areas of Cairo

[native violet]

Some have picturese maybe i can head back to the same area later, but when sending trucks or to resources that were to the northeast, the trucks headed northwest m putting them close to enemy territory. Then they would make a sharp turn northeast. I tried it a few times with different resource sites, and it kept happening.

[worldly sundial]

yep and helicopter also not really working our guys have problems with reserves getting over rivers or so

[dense kernel]

from a friend of mine

[chilly fox]

Regarding the transportation issue, you should compensate players by giving them museum coupons to make up for the inconvenience, allowing them to repaint the damaged trucks.

[static mist]

Optimize the game fix the big lag in big battles this is unbelievable with all the updates still no fix, others games FPS doesn't drop or gets lagging

[proven galleon]

6386421, both tanks started at the top corner of the burning CC.

[sturdy jewel]

23471897

Truck decided to check the sea view for a moment I guess.. Lags and weird routes. Cairo became impossible.

[earnest oar]

These are units don’t understand why this complicated path

[regal tusk]

Lilith gonna have to give a looot of rewards

[livid latch]

Whats wrong here

It’s prefectly fine

[livid latch]

Support: well you see that mountain like 5 feet below you thats why

[sturdy jewel]

That mountain is still there if you drive manually. Lets say hypothetically it doesn’t work, straight line still makes more sense other than geometric shapes no?

[livid latch]

You see that MOUNTAIN, thats why.

[sturdy jewel]

Why the truck goes right next to level 11 bunker and level 8 oil collection tile if you drive manually? Once again, mountain is still there. Doesn’t need to go all the way up to Moscow 5000kms away from that mountain is all I am saying.

[livid latch]

Maybe just do it manually lol. Thats what you should do with the command truck

[sturdy jewel]

That’s the exact reason of this channel. Nice tip Sherlock!

[livid latch]

Units make sense, command truck why are you sending them on long journeys in the first place

[proven galleon]

Did you see the video?

[livid latch]

Yes

Its perfectly fine for a mbt to do circles around a CC. It had to make sure it was burning

[proven galleon]

👍

Call my collection truck then he choose the right path,he choose long way to get home

[dense kernel]

just now, Cairo 6311 3116

[regal tusk]

Just dont send units long distancss

[dense kernel]

bro that was like 60km lol

[livid latch]

[regal tusk]

That SH is not going 60km

[dense kernel]

not per hour no hahaha

[north meteor]

The pathing is redicolous and surely not limited to Cairo😂 even in short range, like maybe 10-20 km it is impossible for a truck to go a straight line, manually it kinda works

[deep turtle]

Units are confused when going back in base. It's like they keep telling each other "you go inside first" "no you go in first".
Also raven units of low levels appear in mass on the map all of the sudden.

[fast bloom]

Bad pathing. All tank units (SH/Light) take one route, arty decides to take another (and this is during a coordinated march) UID 16266330 S32

[cinder crow]

common sighting include : somehow always follows the road for no reason eventhough it took longer

[wary berry]

36618199. One of these is a single AG and the other is my command truck and units.

Also, it strains credulity and credibility that devs can’t see this in their own game play or a beta environment. Why is our input needed?

[wary berry]

This was from a coordinated march by AG. I didn’t capture the beginning, but you can see how a few deviated from the group by a large margin and are apparently going to swim across the river

[mossy tree]

6827664 Asking for screenshot of this pathing crap is just yalls way of saying we know it's a problem but we are going to do chit about it and lag same thing but yall will not fix any of this but always manage to add money making crap for lilith. This has gone on long enough that you have enough screenshots and videos but keep asking for more to pretend like yall working on lag and pathing but lilith has no intentions on fixing any of it.

[mossy tree]

Fkin horrible

[wary berry]

For free? I guarantee I ain’t been playing for free. And why disparage the other user. What a company shill. You hoping for some extra gold?

The units started together. I noted that I did not get the screenshot at the beginning because debugging a game I pay good money for is not my main priority. I pay good money so presumably someone else is worrying about these things and fixing them before they hit the release date

This is not rerouting due to units being in the way of each other. If it is, it’s wholly unnecessary

You asked why the developers should debug it for free. I’m quite certain they get paid. If not, that’s a whole other issue

Why would my truck go all the way down to the road? You’re saying that is the second best route? 🤪. Cool story bro

[mossy tree]

Maybe you are right on all this because I'm no techie by any means but I've played this game for 4 years and it's just hard for me to believe lilith made this game but can't fix these couple of issues. I don't see other games with these problems

Enjoy your vacation man rl comes first

[wary berry]

Just seems unnecessary to throw shade and suggest he doesn’t know what he’s talking about and that he works at McDonald’s. Be respectful and you’ll get respect back. Be condescending and expect some push back. It’s that simple.

[wary berry]

Not at all the same framing. Paying customers complaining about customer service is not the same as you (supposedly rando but maybe Lilith employee given your perspective) taking personal shots at other users. Fanboy all you want. You do you.

[wary berry]

If all you did was add information, I’m quite certain my response would have been different. Stop adding in condescending flourishes and my guess is people will respond more positively. No need to call people kids or insinuate their opinion is lesser because they don’t code or they work at McDonald’s. Or justify it because the comment irked you. Lol. If that’s all that is required…

[fiery elk]

Is this channel just to blow off steam or is there going be a summary of the problems found and the solutions done to solve them? (Cairo pathing isn’t the only problem)

[north meteor]

That would be actually crazy if that would happen😂

[mossy tree]

It's all good and I can understand your frustration I don't mind paying for things I know this is business for them. I just don't understand out of all the issues this has they could fixed by now. Instead there's always new events but no fixes or little compared to the 4 yr problems. Again I'm no techie so I can't be positive how it all works. I do thank you for the info for sure man.
I am retired trk driver I know all about driving killing you 😂 do have a good time

[hazy relic]

Bridge is ignored

[north meteor]

He wanted to go against the flow, crossing the other paths, looks funny around 20 km btw, no straight lines

[strong ocean]

"nahh id float"

[livid latch]

I mean it is a heli from what I see

[lone urchin]

Another fun one. Collector truck over a mountain to a road when it could just go straight

[fiery elk]

Doesn’t look like a high priority problem…. How did complaints about bombers get an update before this? 😂

Interesting how some updates to fix things are done fast while others can be ignored for a year + and pushed aside

Will we get any finished ideas out of this soon?

You do it
