The Mobilize/Conquer Order Example on page 17 makes the intent very clear. The Bowmen cannot move into the activated area because the Latari Archers are in the way. They cannot "move around".While the rules aren't perfect, I think it's pretty clear what the intent is when coupled with the examples.
- When units are moving, moving "2 areas away" is referencing the number of hexes they would move through to get to the destination.
- When things are referring to proximity (such as placing home realms, Edge of the World, and things like Battlemage Jaes' ability), you are just counting actual areas (IE, actual physical distance).
