This should not happen as warrior should not try to go to war flag if the 
distance is bigger than their food reserve.

If we have no-delay tp, this should be the same as workers crossing, say, 
between the rocks. We could improve this issue by making tp big, such as at 
least 2x2 but prefered 3x3 or 4x4.

Why? Excepted for the crowding issue that is a real problem, if tp work 
transparently (without queue or user control of any sort), why should this 
problem arise?

Have a nice day,
