Movement

Are there any problems (lurking variables) associated with changing the starting_action_points from 100 to 150? It seems more realistic to make that change, since it didn't take 6 months to march from Athens to Pella, nor did it take three months to sail a galley from Athens to Rhodes. Anyway, I was wondering why the development team chose 100 and figured you guys found that a setting of 150 (or whatever) had upset other aspects of the Campaign? I like it, personally, but haven't played a whole game that way.

Also, why does using a road on the battlemap make a unit go slower? I think you have it at .80, while snow is at .55 (I think).

I believe the movement choices were made due to gameplay reasons. The AI can't handle movement rates at high levels and it allows you to easily outsmart the AI.

Could've guessed that! Well now I feel really dumb. Three dumb questions and three short answers: engine, engine, engine! The only reason why I ask is cos the game (EB) is so good, that it makes me want more! Inspired, you could say. Good job on the Romans, too, sir. I have only dabbled in them, playing greeks only, so far. But they look pretty cool.

I'm still going to crank it up to 150. I suffer mind-splitting bouts of cognitive dissonance trying to suspend my knowledge of time/distance relationships!
