@zlefin As Redrum says the game files themselves are lacking ATM. I will be posting the significant changes in detail here as I have the time.

@prastle Thank you.

@Frostion Very true, Both valid points. I suppose I was caught in a perspective blindness. After reading your post I can see that now.

I had originally posted this with the intention that if we implemented this as a terrain effect it would be consistent with how it already works... having the movement cost (or limitation) imposed up-front when (attempting) entering the territory in question with a negative effect.

As has been pointed out the issue with having an exit cost is if you have units with a single movement point... then you run the risk of having territories that units can never escape from. This of course can be dealt with by making a much more complex movement system where units start with higher base movement values... and where terrain and infrastructure affects their mobility to a lesser degree (incrementally)...but my suggestion was really (or at least initially) meant to address units with multiple movement values in a way that is simple and in keeping with the existing game structure.

This is not to say I do not value the dialog... examining and developing a workable model for a system with lots of flexibility is an awesome goal.

@LovePlayingAAA Still in development. Bear in mind this represents the most ambitious project in TripleA... not just in scope and scale... but also in the sheer number of elements included.

I don't really do this as a career... so you will simply have to be patient with me on its development. Some nights I feel like working another 4 hours on it... some nights I just want a beer... a Leaf game... and some attention from my wife.

@redrum All very good points. Glad to see some thought has already been focused on this topic. I suppose I should pay more attention to Git Messy.

I do really like what you suggested in 5 about the canal option as it appears it would provide the needed mechanic to account for the obvious terrain situations, while at the same time enabling so many more possibilities.

The edge cases seem less critical since it would be covered by the rule system. Thus it would be governed much the same was "noBlitz" is implemented currently. Not enough movement... "No soup for YOU!" You could potentially move further in a direction that is open and has no obstacles or you are stuck where you are.

@redrum The dread pirate Roberts is not to be underestimated any longer!

Just wanted to table an idea for a new terrain effect...

	    <option name="movementEffects" value="armour" count="-1"/>

This would really help with maps that use terrain effects and create a much needed addition to the "noBlitz" effect.

The newest installment features...

Vichy fleets which are interned at Toulon & Dakar. Attempt to scuttle them as the Allies... attempt to capture them as the Axis.
