Why is my cog broken?

Ummm

Why is it only moving about 3 yards per turn? I put about 7 merchants on a boat with 1 unit of soldiers and sent them down to Markaresh to meet up with my army...all my other boats got there normally, for some reason this boat is taking forever and I have no clue why...I've never seen a boat move so little per turn and it isn't like it is full of artillary, just the merchants and 1 unit of spears...

Nevermind! I figured it out...apparently one of the merchants was 67 and had -26 movement points...that really shouldn't matter on boats, yet it does.

Well, I think it's about time for him to consider retirement. Or perhaps time for you to consider "retiring" him.

Sadly thats the way the engine handles this issue (army movement points influencing fleet movement points) and afaik this can't be changed.

Might i just add that the merchant thing can become pretty ridiculous. I mean i have three merchant atm which are basically stuck at their current position and are barely 50. I mean can't they just buy a bloody wagon or something?

That would make sense to me at least.
Perhaps in the next update this decreasing movement points thing could be nerfed a bit?
