Its all cool and all, but is it me, or everything sounds a bit too ambitious considering they only have about a year to finish everything.

I wonder how much collaboration they have with the AoE4 dev team, which implemented all of these.

I am ready to destroy you all.

Option one seems like a no brainer straight upgrade over the current system. The only problem I can see related to that is being able to "scout" for changes in the retreat path, literally seeing things in the FoW that change unit pathing like the enemy actively placing barbed wire. I don't expect that to be entirely significant, but it's worth thinking about potential ways this system could be abused.

Option 2 seems too difficult to implement. Imagine how you have to explain to new players how this system works, and then have them learn on each individual map how this is going to impact pathing differently. The retreat system is simple to understand, gtfo back to base as quick as possible. Most of the issues this would solve would already be fixed by implementation of option 1. This solution would add more complexity and frustration than just dealing with some poor pathing on certain areas of maps, which can already be fixed with map layout changes anyway.

Option one is the clear way to go here. Giving the player more information to play with is always better.

the only way to implement p3 is like the valentine, a T3,5 callin - Unit

That's incredibly uncreative. You literally cannot think of a single way to implement a weaker tank into the stock roster? We have light tanks, we have medium tanks, God forbid we have a lighter medium tank.

Katyusha. Good enough barrage at long range to destroy support weapons and pak wall, very accurate at close range to wipe infantry. It's the best at everything.
