[1.0.1.348] Danes' UA (Viking Fury) movement points bug

[Pep]

I think Danes' UA (Viking Fury) is bugged. You can reproduce this by starting a new game and chosing Modern Era start in advanced options. Then pick the "Naval Tradition" SP with the free points.

In the screenshots you can see:

• An embarked Infantry with 6/6 moves remaining.
• After disembark, the Infantry has 5/2 moves remaining (3 extra moves!!).

I think this is indeed a bug. After disembark the Infantry should have only 2/2 moves remaining. IMHO, surpassing the normal land movement points is way overpowered. Don't you agree?

Edit: Screenshots updated (worst case) to make my point clearer.

I don't believe it's a bug - it's more or less intended, as units from post Persian GA suffer the same extra movement.

Ok, I've updated my original post to make my point clearer. On the updated screenshots you can see the Infantry has 3 extra movement points after disembarking. This is the "worst case" of this bug:

• Denmark naval units have 6 movement points (Modern Era + UA + Naval Tradition SP).
• Infantry with only 2 base movement points.

As you said, my original example could be more or less fair (Mech Inf with only an extra movement point). What is overpowered is the "extreme case" of an Infantry unit with 5 remaining movements on land. IMO this can be used as an exploit, don't you think so?

It could be, but it's one of those things that makes the Danes unique (viking fury indeed) They haven't patched it since .275; I don't think they'll patch it now.

Bug or not, it is certainly weird. Denmark can even perform this trick coming from sweet water. I got surprised by that in a succession game. I've still got the screenshot I took:

The pike must have had at least 4 movement points here, because he had to deal with the zone of control of one of the rifles as well.
