Get embark set units to auto explore....

[Mr_jones]

So I am playing the Shoshone get embark set the guys to auto explore and they proceed to go back and forth on the same 2 tiles even though they can explore more.

just happened to me with the Babs. Just get them to an open expanse and set them to explore again. Might work
It's wierd

Seen the AI doing this tardish behavior frequently. Issue seems to crop up due to a combination of bad pathing and checking wrong values... Scout has a vision range of 2+ and this means it should be able to clear the fog in this particular hex; however, when embarked it's vision is 1 and so it gets stuck trying to unclear the same patch of fog that it can't reach because it can't cross oceans yet (or enter ice).

They do similar when you have astronomy too - I've set them exploring before, got embroiled in some war, and later thought about my scouts - are yes, there they are bobbing backwards and forwards up and down some ice fjord! Now I tend to micro them same as everything else...

I need to micro the scouts, but I don't. Sometimes they will do the bob and weave in a city state... I'll see that some city state hates me and find out it's because my scout was just sitting in its border... for no reason at all.
