[Bug] AI can't handle allied outpost

[AI] [Pathing]

from Elemental Forums

Brought you a screenshot as always: http://imageshack.us/f/840/screenshot10x.png/

As you might see, the AI player (Gilden) is looking at My town (Ythril).
They are staring intently at it and have been doing so for 10 turns at that exact spot,
it would seem to be that since I grabbed this town from blue (Resoln) which outpost are between my city and his army,
he could keep that outpost, me ignoring the outpost doing no harm,
and I having trouble with 3 wars went on to do something else with my army when Gilden "ambushed" me from this new angle.
But he was stopped dead sinced he ain't too happy about razing his allies outposts,
atleast the AI should be able to move around this tiny bit of wood.

Sincerely

Your right, it looks like the  ai thinks it can't walk into its allies outpost. It doesn't seem to be able to thinkof raising some land or walking around the canyon. essentially its stuck in a dead end. That's wold be my take on it.

I had trouble when the AI built and outpost on my road between my cities.  My troops would stop outside the outpost and the game wouldn't finish the auto turn unless I moved them manually around the outpost.  Even when I became allies with the AI they would still stop outside the outpost and wait for my orders.
