(6-42) Recon Unit Line: Trailblazer Now Affects Base Terrain

I think sticking to something closer to the previously passed movement changes is better than more double-movements on scouts.

I know this specific proposal failed due to technical challenges, but just +1 movement instead of more x2 movement feels a lot better to me.

yeah i think the x2 movement in flat open terrain is problematic, alongside ignore terrain cost. Just give the scouts 3 base moves, then you move 3 grasslands or w/e if thats what we want

I don't wanna spend too much time rehashing recent discussion, but I'd suggest any proposals and counters for recon movement should drop ignore terrain cost altogether, and just use the double movement to confer bonuses. consider that a 2 cost plot costs 1 move when ignore (on its own) is applied to it; and that a 2 cost plot costs 1 move when double bonus (on its own) is applied to it; ie. they're the same effect. Its double AND ignore, together, that create all kinds of headaches for balancing this unit's movement -- of the two the double bonuses are more customizable and have fewer undesirable side effects. Propose a thoughtful movement regime with only one or the other included, and I become interested.

MAGI: @DoveCDog Current TB promotions give +10% CS not 5, it looks like this is a typo as you thought the same for the current status, so just ensuring that was the case and you are not trying to change the Cs value as well.

Fixed, thanks!
