7 years ago I was not able to reproduce the "units don't move" problem. For me the units always moved. Maybe you had a special case were meeting point was so far away and so unreachable that the pathfinder gave up. I see no need for any action on this atm .

7 years ago Right, definitely does not need to be considered right now, esp. before the Steam release. I had just intended to make a note for the future.
Yes, the target is an unreachable point. When this is possibly a problem is if a user is making Ibis, telling the Ibis to meet over a point unreachable for land units (such as a large body of water), but then if the user switches to producing scarabs or snakes. The user is likely to expect those land units to at least come near the body of water, but instead they would just stay at home.
So clearly not a priority right now. If after this additional summary I wrote that you think no change needs to be made, then this ticket can be closed.

6 years ago I will close this. If it really turns out to be a show stopper one day, we file a new bug report.
I realize this is very trivial but wanted to make a note of it.
If a meeting point is over water, land units stay at home.
Example where this could be a problem:
Obelisk meeting point is over water mid-way through the map.
Ibis go there, but snakes and scarabs don't move anywhere if selected for production. I thought the desired behavior would be for the land units to move as far as they could - near the water - and then stop.
Related to this are the comments I left on https://github.com/MegaGlest/megaglest-source/commit/438d37c59f7d22d70bceb39e35f20b5efcbec851 So trivial I am reluctant to create a separate ticket for it.
