Siege collision and movement

[System Error Message]

Hi, there seems to be no collision between siege units when they move when selecting multiple siege units/in the same group.

I would like to suggest adding an upgrade for fire ammunition for siege and fire arrows for some archers or races.

When moving siege units they sometimes get stuck among each other as they consider each other an obstacle when not moving in the same group.

Pathfinder improvements are being worked on, and once those are completed siege movement should improve.

It happens with ships as well.

Indeed, ships will have a unique movement closer to how ships move through water in reality. Again this requires the update to the pathfinder and then additional work.

I think Deiz just committed something that address this check SVN r12269 the comment on the commit

Added a function for finding colliding entities with identical control groups. Refs #1529.

That was a fix for an issue with walls being possible to build on top of each other, so not a fix for this issue I'm afraid.

I don't think anyone's working on improved formations in particular. Ship and siege formations could be worked on independently of the new pathfinder work (not sure what progress has been made on that...)

I think I have said this before, but horses and ships, since they both accelerate slowly, can use the same motion/path-finding.
