I've had similar problems with the route system. See my earlier post in the forum "Can't make my routes work!" for some history. You need to take some care in placing the alt-roams. If that is done correctly the bots will follow your routes when they choose to do so. The keyword here is "when." They are supposed to randomly choose between the pathactions supplied to the route node, but my experience is that they will usually go the shortest way regardless, but sometimes will take your specified routes.

I have tested this many times. For a dynamite action, say, by setting all of the pathactions to the same route, running a team of 10 or so engineers with no enemies to obstruct them, and repeatedly restarting the game while following them each time to see what percentage go where. With all the pathactions the same they should always take your route, but they don't. About 80% of the time they'll take the shortest way even if it's not the specified route. Very frustrating, to say the least, when you want to control the flow of the game! I think that it's a bug that needs some looking at.
