Great Admiral and ocean crossings

[tlaurila]

Looks like GAs don't need Astronomy to cross oceans like all other ships do. A bit funny don't you think.

has been like this since their inclusion in vanilla. I think it's what makes them valuable to get as their other powers are more meh-meh...

Funny, but works really well gameplay-wise!

Ya I like this. Its kind of like how the Vikings put up settlements in North America in the 10th century and how a Chinese admiral possibly explored parts of North America before as well. Great Admirals just aren't very useful anyways.

I wish Great Generals simply affected all types of units all the time. I don't know why Firaxis added a separate unit.

I agree. The great admiral is worthless. Sometimes less is more.
