I encountered a same problem. AI surrounded itself with caravans and was unable to leave the castle with its lv20 hero

I saw that in Lota, very annoying.

I guess it's more proof that the developers don't play the game themselves.

When TotE arrives, this bug might dissapear as well.

Hey don't get me wrong, I still like the game. But actually in the screenshot, the one with red caravans is from the ToTE demo so I don't see it changing.

How much do you guys use caravans? I use them occasionally to get creatures from dwellings, but I never use the castle to castle thing.

Lol I use them constantly. And I tend to leave units unrecruited just in case I have to transport them to another town closest for summoning with the hero.

All versions of Heroes have had AI quirks which resulted in similar disadvantages for the computer players. UBI should attempt a fix for this, but Heroes AI has never been intuitive enough to solve every position anomaly the computer heroes encounter. Maybe someday (sigh).

Likewise, the AI's handling of boats in Heroes II was clear proof that Jon van Caneghem didn't play Heroes.

Right

I was amused to find the JVC corral in mm 7.

Are we being forgiving? Isn't this kind of behavior stuff that should be fixed in patches?

Homm V does some similar stuff with boats also, on occasion. The spirit lives on!

The term AI, when used to refer to any game's computer controlled opponents, is a misnomer. Consequently, given the current state of technology, there will always be problems comparable to this someplace in every game. All we can do is argue and complain about when, where, and how they will show up.
