To be serious the pathing for the demigods AND minions of generals is currently borked.
Only reason it seems to work is that most of the maps dont have objects in 'way' of how the pathing seems to count the paths.
Thenagain maps like Crucible, middle south flag (gold) acts as a pet trap. Pets cant find a path there and especially out. Pets in general are stuck in corners of map and if there is buildings near edge or side of some pathway where your going, pets get stuck on it pretty often. Or from middle of Crucible if you try to order your general home, he gets stuck halfway... pretty often.
Also the pet commands that supposedly are to control your minions seem to also be somewhat unresponsive. Sometimes pushing the button chooses your minions, often it dosnt. The minion management and handling is not smooth and seems to be barely passable at current state.
As I play a general type of demigod, this sort of things are a little tricky im sure and I hope they do get attention at some spot when the initial rage over the horrible server handling start to thin into air.
