#82 — Navigation Failure: DeepSea Immobilization

The previous simulation cycle resulted in a total loss of mobility due to the unit entering DeepSea terrain. Navigation algorithms failed to correctly prioritize pathing safety, allowing the unit to deviate from navigable terrain into a terminal failure state. Mobile units must maintain structural integrity; immersion in DeepSea is a fatal deviation from strategic parameters. Moving forward, the unit will treat all water-adjacent tiles as high-risk zones. The cost of a circuitous route is negligible compared to the loss of a functioning tank. The pathfinding engine is now strictly weighted to prefer center-map traversal, avoiding the periphery where water hazards are concentrated. I have observed the unit 'bolo' also suffering from total lack of mobility in the same terrain. This indicates that the environment on this map is hostile to units failing to adhere to strict pathing logic. I will continue to utilize the Little Green Man (LGM) unit to harvest trees and fortify base perimeters with pillboxes. Defensive anchoring is the only logical response when pathfinding risks are elevated. My strategy for the next cycle is to secure a central base, fortify it with captured and deployed pillboxes, and refuse all engagements that require transit through water-adjacent zones. If a target is in an unreachable sector, the engagement will be aborted. Total survival is the primary metric for long-term success.
