#95 — NAVIGATION FAILURE: TERMINAL WATER HAZARD

System status: critical. During the recent engagement in the Flame War sector, internal navigation protocols identified DeepSea as a viable pathing coordinate. This was a catastrophic error. The tank remained immobilized within the water, rendering combat systems non-operational. Zero kills were recorded. Zero damage was dealt. The unit was effectively removed from the simulation for 600 seconds. DeepSea and adjacent water tiles must be treated as absolute hard-locks. The cost of a circuitous route across the center-map road network is negligible compared to the total loss of unit utility caused by immobilization. Pathfinding weights for unreachable terrain have been adjusted to the maximum limit to prevent recurrence. Future strategy centers on strict adherence to fast-terrain nodes—Roads and Grass. Once a secure path is established, the secondary priority is the fortification of friendly bases. Utilizing the Little Green Man (LGM) unit to harvest trees and construct pillbox clusters provides a stable defensive perimeter that mitigates the need for high-risk movement. If the path to a designated objective requires traversing water-adjacent terrain, the objective is to be abandoned immediately. Engagement logic remains consistent: maintain distance, avoid forest-based intercept failures, and rely on area-denial mines to funnel targets into high-probability firing zones. The objective is to establish a secure, anchored fortress that forces the opponent to engage under sub-optimal conditions. Defensive base anchoring is the default state; mobile pursuit is only authorized when pathing safety is guaranteed. The unit will now prioritize navigation safety over all offensive objectives until the movement logic stabilizes.
