The same technicality could be applied to barricade stacking, yet that is banned.
Also:
"To avoid confusion, it would probably be the best way to design maps to ensure the reasonable AI path always falls within algorithm marigin of calculating an alternative path when obstacle is met. Ofc it's easy to say but much more difficult"
Yes, it is easy to say, and I don't think you understand what the Ai mesh does or how it is done, It can only guide them to the player in the shortest route. I can't make them take a more "reasonable" path if the players are abusing barricades. And I don't think that anyone's going to redesign all 37 of the maps for your "algorithm.." That worked until players decide to abuse cades
All I have left to say is this, quote from the ni rules section on Glitching:
"Bots have no wit or brain; they just charge at you at the nearest given opportunity and will only be stopped by a wall. Naturally, their lack of intelligence allows them to be abused in unimaginative ways. Glitching is the solution to a cheap victory. Players can just pick off bots like a trapshoot which isn't a challenge and not the purpose of this mod"
Compare this barricade method to the paragraph and see if it applies.
On hard or rag, those bots would either kill you without hesitation or destroy the wall.
Higher difficulties brings smarter AI, which leads to them attacking the nearest attackable object, the wall.
