Help! guys are getting lost when i send them somewhere
i have a new civ II gold but its not working like my old one, where i could send someone home or just point them somewhere to go. now they go anywhere!
why is this?

I have pretty much given up on using the go to function for anything critical.
Too many stupid units jsut wandering off the road and wasting their turn and some of the next turn.

The only reason I can think of is that those units are trying to pass the zero line. When going east there is no problem but when the should go west they go east. If you know where the zero line is you know that units can only go over (to the west) using the keyboard (not the goto function with the g button)

I find if I am traveling more than one screen there is a risk the unit will try to take a "short cut" and if their are air bases it may not use them as roads. It also seems to sometimes avoid enemy units when it doesn't need to.
