"Remove your troops"-BS - another bug or intentional?

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

Here`s the newest bug I`ve found - or maybe it`s intentional.

AFAIK when the other guy tells me to remove my forces or else and I klick OK the troops move to the next free square. That`s at least what happenes to AI troops - they go to the next free square even if that`s a jump 20 squares across my territory to just the place I wanted to keep them from, as long as the next free square in any other direction is more than 20 squares away.

OK, logical!

BUT: see this savegame: I want to move my troops through the Zulu territory to my newfounded town in the south. When I move the 1 square south and Shaka tells me to get lost they go straight back. Fine.
But if I move them 2 squares south, the next free square then being the jungle square directly south....

they jump back to where they are now!

Is this the way it`s supposed to be????? That my troops go to the next free square in the direction of my capital or what???????

here`s the save, if anyone wants to give it a try.

btw: this is the third time I tried!

OK, I found out what it is!

I can`t believe it, it must be because the Zulu have an Impi with a goto command for the square my troops are on.....

here`s the save

Those guys look quite strong when you upped the HP:s. I guess you don´t have combat animations turned on.
