[Freeciv-Dev] [patch #4805] Transferring units between transports on the same tile

Follow-up Comment #5, patch #4805 (project freeciv): >Obviously realism cannot be used as the guideline here, as none of these things is realistic. So it becomes mainly gameplay and balance issue - we should disallow major exploits. I do not say that it is less realistic this use of transports, bu

Follow-up Comment #4, patch #4805 (project freeciv): When considering limitation of movement between collocated transports on the same non-native tile, remember that we permit movement between adjacent transports on non-native tiles with a cost of SINGLE_MOVE: rather than a blanket restriction, I

Follow-up Comment #3, patch #4805 (project freeciv): Going a bit OT, but this is the general spacetime distortion in our model. Units have movement points telling how much they can move a turn (lat's say; year). Yet units are not moving at the same time, but one at a time. When they interact, that

Follow-up Comment #2, patch #4805 (project freeciv): That's a good point. I think there are limited cases where it is possible to do what you describe today, where a unit can unload/reload on native terrain. For instance it's possible to transport a unit arbitrarily far along your own coastline b

Follow-up Comment #1, patch #4805 (project freeciv): Something that I liked from freeciv compared to other civs is that it was not possible to use chains of transports in order to move units indefinitely in one single turn. If you allow transferring units between transports on the same tile, I'm
