I totally agree.  I guess this is partly why I brought up the notion of
stack limits.  Addressing various playability issues of units through
convoluted mobility algorithms is hard on the player.

But you are spont on... I was bringing up issues that came to mind as
one already used to busting out calculators and computing various
formulas.  Certainly overall playability could be improved as yourself
and Markus suggest.
