[vanilla bug] Danes keeps all their remaining move points when disembarking

[Pep]

As you can see in the first image, the embarked archer has 5/5 move points remaining. In the second image, he has 4/2 move points remaining (lost 1 at disembarking).

I think it's overpowered, specially later in the game, when you have lots of embarked movement points.

IMO, when a Danes unit disembark should have at maximum its top land movement points (2 in the archer's case).

Anyway, this bug comes from vanilla. I don't know if it can be fixed in the unofficial patch.

I see it as a feature, not a bug, because it makes the Danes more fun!

Likewise - it makes a Danish landing fleet a force to reckon with. It'll be interesting to see how the GaK AI does with Denmark. I expect (or, more accurately, hope) that Denmark will go from one of the least successful AIs to one of the most fearsome.

Most things dealing with "realtime" unit movement or combat are not moddable, including this.

Interesting shouldn't it be like : You don't lose a turn when you embark and then you can move as archer 2 movements

 

[Thalassicus]

It just changes the base movement points. The same thing happens when any other unit changes base movement points... such as when a vanguard unit gets the +1 promotion. It becomes 2/3, not 3/3:c5moves. If that 3/3 unit later gets the "upgrade to archer" opportunity it becomes 3/2 for one turn. This is exactly the same as the Danish situation.

That peculiarity in the game core is also why Darius' Golden Age and movement bonus are off by a turn instead of coinciding.

Right, that's a better example.
