While play-testing another change, I noticed an AI-controlled Carthaginian settler trying to go through Athens.
From the console output I can tell that it is trying to reach the tile indicated with the purple star. It's been stuck at the same tile for a few turns and the obvious conclusion is that it is trying to go north through Athens.
We should exclude rival cities from our routing calculations, likely by setting the distance to infinite (unless there's a future option enable to allow passage through friendly cities, like in Civ4. We could add that check in at this point so things are flexible, even if it always returns false for now).
This is a small incremental step towards better routing. I've listed it as a bug since the settler gets permanently stuck (well, unless the city gets destroyed perhaps), though I expect many of those improvements (e.g. respecting lack of right of passage once we have borders) will be improvements.
There are also a few other non-related units-getting-stuck issues, many of which I suspect are due to the unit's goal no longer being achievable, rather than pathing.
This may optionally be added to Carthage, or done later for Dutch.
