Its an interesting question.  In Take Command, the messengers ride fairly directly to the subordinate.  In action, this sometimes means messenger after messenger can get killed which throws up a info box that you have to OK, over and over.  It's a clumsy little glitch and I wonder why they haven't patched their kamakaze messengers...

Messengers does not exist as figures, they are virtual. They chose their own way regarding the importance of speed to deliver their message and their safety. But sometimes, a cannon ball... or cossacks cross their way  :twisted:.

There isn't a formal path, but AI verifies the threat on the optimal line between the two points.
A random process estimates the interception. This event is extremely rare on the battle map... possible on the mini-campaign map.

That said, idea about the choice is interesting.. Maybe you can add to the wish-list

Clearly making allowance for terrain, and enemy units, would not a simple "in a stright line from A to B" be best ?.
