Speed of units

[Emre Yigit]

Gentlebeings,

The speed with which armies could move around increased dramatically during the 19th century, mainly because of the proliferation of railways. Likewise, the later armored battleships were generally faster (and rather less subject to attrition) than the sailing ships of Nelson's time.

Is it possible to emulate this?

I had thought of the following:

The incorporation of at least one, possibly two new tech levels, with an increase in land and naval mobility being the main consequence. Would this work?

(Think Berlin-to-Baghdad or Trans-Siberia, etc)

It would be nice... if it even is possible.

It is possible to change the current techs, but not adding new ones. There should be a few threads regarding that here somewhere.

Then, say, would it be possible to really increase the cost of LT60 & 61, say, (I forget where it ends), and then raise the speed that those armies move?

But I shall search in this forum.

Thanks.

Is there a file with the speed of units?

land.csv has a column for speed IIRC. I assume naval.csv is similar...

So are you altering that file to show how units traveled faster with the advent of trains?
