[1.1 BUG] Young Crow Demons can't fly?

What's up with that?  Wings not fully developed yet or something?

I always enjoy watching my storm dragon as a solo unit follow the roads halfway around a map instead of flying over a forest of three squares to reach it's destination  :|

I would hope more widespread flying is included in the upcoming expansion- if not sooner?

They fly perfectly well in my 1.1 game.  My 2 have explored almost all the large map now flying over water and mountains perfectly well. My first Ordinary Crow Demon flies normally too.  Not sure what your problem is but it doesn't seem to be widespread.

Ok I think I was misled by the fact that it is costing them 2 movement point to fly over forests and swamps.  If they are flying, then it shouldn't cost them 2 movement points to fly over forests and swamps.  FIX IT!

I guess the reason they move at half speed across hills and forests is the same reason they move 4x normal speed along roads (inside own territory and in neutral lands).  I would not like to lose the extra movement on roads if that is the cost of normal movement across hills and forests.  If they had the scout trait then movement in rough terrain would be fixed and they could still use roads.

It seems the Flying ability does not affect the movement speed across normal terrain that other units can use but does allow movement across water and mountains where other units can't move.

It's a simple fix. Derek just needs to adds the master scout abilities (no movement penalty in forests and swamps) to flyers.  If you can fly over mountains, then you can fly over forests and swamps.
