Hmmm. The movement model already has various shortcuts in it:
o Horses halve the time to travel over land
o Gatecraft allows instant teleportation between points
o Travel by ship is faster, if there is a water route
o Other secret ways the player can discover (hidden routes,
other teleportation spells, and Hades)
Does anyone else feel that movement takes too long? Is this really
what makes Olympia progress slowly?
Is the world too big?
