Why can't my unit attack within two hexes?

Question

This is my situation:

I understand how terrain can slow movement, however, for the print screen below, I cannot work out why my elephant cannot attach the cavalry.

Answer

Is it possible that your opponent has built the Great Wall? You're crossing into his territory, and if he has the Great Wall, your movement will be penalized.

I'd be willing to bet that if you hovered over the hex just left of the enemy unit, your Elephant unit would path down and to the left towards it, rather than down and to the right, which would cross over into enemy territory and take a movement penalty.
