I absolutely do not want orders to turn into a client-side agent.  It 
should be a tool for the player, nothing more.  Doing otherwise just 
leads to escalading complication.

In particular, once the player has entered the path it should be 
followed exactly as shown.  If he wants to change it he can do so by 
making a new path.
