User blog:MasterBroccoli/A word about speed

Hello everyone!

I noticed (and not just I) that the speed of units, though crucial in all of the games of the series, is not given enough thought here in the wiki.

For I only play the second installment I cannot really speak for the other games, but I've noticed there is work to be done, too.

I'd really like to agree on thresholds in the matter clarifying from what point on a unit is considered "very slow", "slow", "medium", "fast", or "very fast".

I already did some work there and find the following applicable:

very slow < 0.7

slow 0.7 - 0.9

medium 0.91 - 1.1

fast 1.11 - 1.44

very fast > 1.44

And I think the thresholds should be different in the water, for there is only one unit below 1, the Turtle Ship, and even that one gets more than 1 with Panokseon. So in essence, there would only be medium and fast/very fast ships. I don't know if that is the best solution.

What do you think?
