Freedom of Navigation

[usadefcon1]

I'd like to request a mod that allows naval units to ignore borders as long as they are on ocean tiles. This should allow for easier logistics and is more true to life.

I think trying to distinguish between ocean and coast for movement will be very resource heavy, requiring either unit.setxy or events_can_move_into.

Why not just allow them access to all rival coast/ocean?

Yeah I actually ended up doing just that and it's been working quite well. It's not immersion breaking since for the most part that's how it works irl, and it also helps the AI out.

I played around with this as well.. I ended up compromising on a temporary post-combat promo that allowed entering rival territories.. ie 2 turns after combat the unit could travel freely, observes borders rest of the time

What do you modify to do that if I may ask?
Interested to try that myself!
