About Fixing/Adjusting Ship Movement

[Skulker]

Anyone know if there has been any consideration given by Firaxis to increasing ship movement rates? On big maps, ships take forever to go from place to place. IMHO, this takes a lot out of game play and does not simulate reality well.

A LOT of problems, both bugs and game play issues, have been fixed in the last 2 patches. Anyone have any idea if this is being looked at? Perhaps an optional setting is in order.... I would appreciate any comments, especially from any Firaxians lurking out there.

I think this is one of those items that is relegated to the editor. Since it is so easily and obviously customized in the editor, I'm sure they'll leave it at that. Everyone has a different opinion on what the movement rates of ships should be.

One thing you may want to do is have a different bic file for each size map you want to play. In the "largemap.bic" file you would REALLY increase movement rates. In the "normalmap.bic" file you would moderately increase the movement rates. Having changed nothing else in these files, you would have the same default game as provided with the original bic, just with better movement rates.
