Describe the bug

In fheroes2, the Hydras are moving backwards when they could get closer to the Centaurs. Certainly because the Centaurs have blocked the passage.

Apparently Hydras want to reach some different stack (maybe Halflings) and have no interest in Centaurs :)

They're turned off by the smell of horse.

Edit: Wait, do they even have nostrils? 🤔

I believe this issue is fixed in #5891.

@LeHerosInconnu , could you please verify the issue with the latest build?

Hello @ihhub,

I believe this issue is fixed in #5891.

@LeHerosInconnu , could you please verify the issue with the latest build?

I tested with version 0.9.19 5895. There is progress. But if the Gargoyles block the path, the Hydras turn back.

That's good. The original issue is fixed as now Hydras can reach Centraurs.
