The only things that the old code allowed is that a unit could move to the half of its moves, ignoring totally its position and the position of the potential refuel points. If you have a nuke, you could move to 8 tiles then 4, 2, 1, and impossible to move anymore :), whereas there was 1 single moves left. This patch allow all safe moves, where the unit can finish its turn on a known refuel point (except carriers unfortunately). Long paths are possible, using automatically some refuel points. What could be again improved: - Maybe carrier should be considered as refuel point, it was written in the code that they could move so don't be considered as it. However, other paths can be also wrong (e.g. land unit going to a transporter, which can have been moves). Moreover, a fighter able to reach a carrier directly in the turn should be able to use it. - Maybe add an option to ignore the dangerous positions path in the client. It could be quite annoying sometimes to don't move where you want, especially from carriers. _______________________________________________ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
