Move Costs of Units?

Post by kronenblatt »

I've checked the movement costs in Action Points (AP) of different unit types for different terrain types and have come up with the following table:

Are there any errors in there that need to be corrected? Or adjustments or additions (other unit types and/or terrain types) and what are then their respective AP's?

See /Data/Terrain.txt for the full breakdown.

OK, thanks.

Have looked now and it seems that the following unit types are the same, movement cost wise:
  • DETERMINED_FOOT=HEAVY_FOOT=MIXED_FOOT=UNDRILLED_HEAVY_FOOT
  • MEDIUM_FOOT=BOWMEN=WARRIORS=MOB
  • KNIGHTS=CATAPHRACTS=LIGHT_HORSE=CAVALRY


And the following terrain types, movement cost wise:
  • OpenGround=Tracks=HighVegetation=RaisedTracks=RaisedGround=DeadGround
  • Marsh=Vineyard


(This is 1.5.28 of course, so may change.)

Makes sense from what you know as well?

And I may well then also ask: in which file can I find how many AP's the different unit types have?
