Diagonal moves on rivers

Post by zohaa »

Why if i move diagonally from a river tile to a river tile i'll lose a whole movement point?

Why would you gain movement bonus from a river if you don't travel via it?

This is ruleset configurable, though:

Code: Select all

;   - "Cardinal"   = Road cost applies only on cardinal moves
;   - "Relaxed"    = Road cost is normal for cardinal, double for diagonal moves
;   - "FastAlways" = Road cost applies always between two tiles with the roads
Freeciv-web is using "Cardinal" for rivers.
