ARS – Improved Movement v2.2
Overhauls the unit movement system to allow for more fluid gameplay.
Introduces 3 new combat unit formation classes: Land Ranged, Land Cavalry, and Naval Ranged. Units with differing formation classes may occupy the same tile. This is complemented by increased base movement for all units.
Combat unit formation classes.
