Units movings through provinces aren't conquering them

WTF... have had this issue FIVE times today now. Running a unit through a province doesn't conquer it, it just remains with the original owner. May have to do with speeding (forced march). This is NOT a revolt issue; this was nowhere near day change.

Anyone else having this issue?

In case someone wants to tell me to post a bug report in-game, I did.

To rule out some other causes: Are you sure you were still connected to the server when you checked back? Often times stuff like this is only a display issue due to the client not being connected anymore. Reloading the game should update the ownership.

Otherwise this would be a very weird bug, never encounter this. Would need some reproduction steps then.

Its ok for me. Does anyone else have the issue?

As mysterious as the bug popped up, it disappeared again. Hasn' t happened again since that report. Can' t know if it was a display issue; I didn' t reload at the time, and just marched back (usually just a few miles). Stopping at province centre always worked then.

In the few times recently that players have reported this I have found two possibilities upon investigation:

1) The AI had given Right of Way, so the forces simply marched through without declaring war.

or

2) The province HAD actually been captured, but the display was not updating properly for the player, and reloading would show that they owned the provinces that they should. The player had actually gotten a notification of capturing the province, but the display lagged behind.

Definitely not (1) (this was a big rush for territory), so it must have been a (2)

I have seen this and decided it is a display issue - set a force to capture a province, come back a few hours later, the province is reported as being captured but stay the same as the old enemy colour - killing the browser tab and restarting teh game seems to fix it

I need to add a third possibility:

3) The path through the province did not intersect the province center. There are of course sometimes roads which bypass the province center, although this is rare.

I say we remove those type of path as it is not necessary
