Hi, its my first post here, lurked for quite a while on various aoc sites.
I just found a funny bug, dunno if its known or not but thought I'd share it.
On the recent ruso teamgames pack (http://www.aoczone.net/viewtopic.php?f=91&t=63914) there is a game on Megarandom where he is playing celts on a water map. If you look closely to his gold vills in that particular game you'll notice that when he builds his second mining camp at around 21:30 into the game, the vills mining the middle gold resources walk around the gold piles to drop their resources because the game doesnt take into account that there is a gold pile between the miner and the mining camp, so it takes like 7 or so steps for them to drop their gold off whereas there would be a mining camp 2 steps behind them.
Ill try to illustrate it if you dont want to download the replay
GG= mining camp
X= gold
_= empty space
v= villager

Your vills would not go to the mining camp behind them but they would go around the gold piles to the other side because the game counts it being closer, but doesnt take into account that there is a gold pile inbetween the working villager and the mining camp! So you are wasting precious mining time that could be corrected by placing the mining camps better or microing the vills. In the game he couldnt have moved his mining camp because the gold piles werent just in a straight line but more like

(yes the pile was big)
And to end it all I'd like to apologize if this is known
