How can a scout move 3 tiles or more?

ZooBooBooZoo · Sep 25, 2014

Hi all,

I've noticed in some of MadDjinn's videos that his scouts can go more than two tiles per turn. I tried to duplicate the >2 movment in various way but couldn't make it.
how does he do it?

here'a video (24:28) where's his scout moves 3 tiles...

Natural wonder mt Kilimanjaro gives altitude training promotion. Scout with that can move 4 tiles on hills

You can see in the Scout's promotions the mountain icon, which means it passed the natural wonder Mt Kilimanjaro, granting it extra movement in hills.

I addition to Mt. Kilimanjaro (which is what happened here), the Scouting III promotion provides +1 movement.

Which means a Scout with Altitude Training and 3 scouting promotions would have +2 visibility range and could cross 6 consecutive hill tiles on a single turn.

^ agreed. Although most scouts can't get up to scouting III

But we can have Incans on Altitude Training

Additionally, if you're playing Persia, their special ability (UA?) allows them extra movement during Golden Ages. I was really confused watching an LP where workers were suddenly moving 3 tiles, before I did some Googling.

So, adding that to Browd's info above, a scout could get across 8 mountain tiles in a single turn!

And Denmark has Persia beat in this regard, all units from Denmark that start a turn embarked retain their embarked MP for the remainder of the turn.

An embarked unit with Steam Power + Exploration Opener + Great Light House starts with 6 MP. Adding that to the Mountain Training, that's disembark + 10 hill tiles in one turn!

I played a game not too long ago as the Zulus and Mt. Kilimanjaro was close to me. Needless to say my Impis were unstoppable.
