And your face should change to a mounted figure or horse driven carriage. Maybe also include MOVE_SHIP when you get a ship, which can travel very fast, but can only dock in ports.

Finally, instead of dragons teleporting you from A to B you could also get on a dragon (with a face change) and fly (maybe along flying routes like ships?) to other places. This idea is somewhat questionable though, as being able to hire a dragon and just fly anywhere seems like a far too easy way to travel.
Speaking of image transformations, when something
moves from a square A to a square B it currently stays in A all the way
until it jumps to B. Could the new protocol provide a way for the
transition to take n seconds (or ticks or frames), so arrows would
really fly, and monsters would walk at you instead of jumping, the land
would scroll by as player walks on it, and spells would propogate more
smoothly? I don't know if this is even vaguely possible given that
currently CF is completely tile-based.Additionally MOVE_HORSE, being much faster than walking, but less
and MOVE_WAGON, which would be able to carry vast amounts of items,

Also, it would be nice to change the face of the player under some
movement modes (raise the player a few pixels, and add shadow beneath
them if they are flying, have only part of them visible above water if
they are swimming), or the character on a horse if they are riding,
this would give visual cues as to the state of each player.
Also swimming should probably act like swamps, rolling to see if you
are about to drown.
