[BUG?] Long-range pathfinding
...and two suggestions
Elemental Forums
It seems that my people (particularly the caravans) are no fans of planning ahead too much: when I want to tell a caravan to go to a rather distant city, he simply refuses. No target cross appears, and he doesn't move. Initially I thought that there might be no connection (as still happens at the pass, between my first two cities in the Campaign), but when I teased him step for step along the way I wanted him to take, it worked out.
Thus: bug. Should be able to plan further ahead. After all, it surely can't be a time problem in the A*, right?

Why west? The wall goes east to west, thus only blocking North/South approaches.
Furthermore, I got this message for every tile I visited when walking along that wall to the east.
Finally, a buglet in the forum code: I have to write 1) and 2), instead of a) and
