"Units ending their turn on this terrain take [50] damage <with [80]% chance>"
I suspect AIs may need to look at chance based uniques differently than they currently do. As it currently stands, I think there was some work to make the AI consider tile damage, but chance based uniques throws a wrench in it as it may not see the unique in the list when checking
OH DAMN that's probably it!

Problem Description
AI does not appear to consider tile damage. For example, when allowed to pass, the AI disregards damage consideration of impassable tiles, leading to dumb damage or unit deaths. This may be less about impassable tiles and more about the simple consideration of tile applied damage.

Desired Solution
Tiles that apply damage have a weight that makes them less desirable to use, unless the purpose and destination, and/or survivability of the damage, warrants ending the units' turn on the damage-inflicting tile.
Alternative Approaches
Most simple-est logic would be to allow ending the turn on the damaging tile if it won't kill the unit next turn, otherwise don't go/be there.

To explain some example rationale used in my mod, why this matters (to me) - mountains are used as normal movement blockers, partitioning the map. Gaining one of the palace natural wonders grants a promotion that opens up terrain accessibility, making owning these wonders valuable. To facilitate production resources, in this static map, mines can be freely constructed on mountains, requiring balance of watching unit health vs construction progression. The AI can do it, but usually losing a unit or two per mine since it doesn't factor damage. Other mods may have various other uses of tile damage.
Overall, factoring tile damage (or even healing as I hacked in would be beneficial to AI gameplay.
