I also loosely assumed that the bots habit of taking the shortest possible route is a reflex action when no routes (marked paths) are available. Apparently this is ALL wrong.

2 more bits of info and caveats that may help to clear things up more.
1. Using the route system - its all or nothing. i.e. if you have 4
paths available to reach a goal, you HAVE to define alt roams for all 4 paths, IF you want the bot to possibly use those 4 available paths. Else, if the bot finds a route for its goal, it uses only the routes defined. So, if you only have path 2 and 4 defined, and not 1 and 3, they should only use 2 and 4. If they are not using the routes you defined- then there is some problem that I need to know about and fix ASAP.
If you feel you've found a problem, the best thing to do is clearly define what the problem is: let us know exactly where its having the problem, and how to trigger it so we can see it. As Bindle can prolly atest, I have no problem going into bug squashing mode if you can give me a clearly defined problem and how to reproduce it.
2. Only certain actions in Fritz Wolf are able to be routed to, and only certain classes will use them. Obviously, if you try to route an dynamite action, only engs will use that info, other classes will go and do their own goals.
The bot's pathfinder takes the shortest path to EVERYTHING, whether it is its own goal, or the route you provided, so your assumption is correct.
I know we've all been kind of unreachable lately with all of our work on Fritz ET, but I will try to help as much as I can if you can tell me where the specific problems are.
Cheers!
