Caravans: spread the load = faster

Message Rating: Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic


         How about being able to send extra caravans, so that the goods can be spread out into lighter loads, and get there a bit quicker (or, make fully-laden caravans slower).
        
         

        
        
         The UI is already there, as "Add Extra Caravans"

	e.g. caravan_speed = prestige_boost * ( 20 + market_level * 2 ) * sqrt ( sent_vans / required_vans ) * game_balance_adjustment where (sent_vans >= required_vans) For less benefit, replace sqrt ( n ) with power ( n, e ), where e < 0.5 Edited by Albatross - 22 Aug 2012 at 14:40
