[1.09p] [Bug/Cheat] Movement

from Elemental Forums

You can cheat movement right now. I've posted about the strategic one before. Using the arrow keys (I use the numpad with numlock off), you can move almost unlimited across the map if you time it right. It's handy for testing, but I really dont want something cheesy like this to remain.

 

The other one is in tactical battles. Let's say your unit has enough action points to move two squares. There is an enemy just out of reach at 3 squares away. If you simply hold the mouse over the enemy until the crossed swords appears, then right click, your unit will move those two squares, AND attack the enemy.

That second bug would actually be an interesting way to implement charges!  Of course, you'd need the 'set for charge' ability for the defenders, that would detect if you had just done this...

Depending on how simultaneous combat is implemented, you may either only get to move one square at a time, or burn all of your actions when your initiative # comes up, so this bug may or may not be as much of an issue at that point...

You can also cast Mobility multiple times. It consumes mana on cast but doesn't show up as an enchantment.
