There is a reason, AI performs a fog discovery here, so it will try to step at any tile that shows a little more.

@oleg-derevenetz
Thanks for clarification!
How do you think, is it possible to teach AI not to waste so much points for just one step in future? Or allow him such movements only if there're no other tasks nearby?
I'm going to leave this issue opened, as such cases heavily slow down AI.

Fog discovery is already considered as a last resort task :)

Indeed. But I'm 100% sure has not revealed the whole map, since there're two treasure chests above. I expect him to disembark there, but not in the only tile in forest. :)
I suggest forbidding AI to disembark on such tiles belonging to small closed territories, where he cannot make any action. :)

In general case, you may never know for sure. Even if this particular hero cannot do any action, some other hero can, if scout found something valuable enough - e.g. enemy castle or a hero, and that other hero, for instance, has the Dimension Door spell. I really don't care if AI actions look "strange" from a human player's point of view as long as they are backed by logic.
