Hi Phil, Yeah, the Genesis engine also has a speed setting for players and enemies but for some reason it never ocurred to me to give each enemy a unique speed setting. I just set them to the default speed, and didn't think about it after that. At any rate the figures you gave me squares with what I was thinking of using for the new speed settings. I think a horse can average 25 miles per hour so 180 to 240 feet per minute sounds about right for centaurs and similar creatures. Harpies would move slightly slower, but still quite fast. As for humans 120 feet per minute sounds pretty reasonable for a brisk walk. So I'd say these speed settings sound very doable. Thanks for the info.
