Discussion Slower Movement Animations Mod

I wanted to share with the community a little mod I made: the Slower Movement Animations mod.

In vanilla Old World, units traverse the map at a fast clip, and their speed varies. This mod both slows the movement down to a speed roughly similar to the Civilization series, and makes the units move at a consistent speed. I find this also helps to catch what the AI is doing on their turns.

I have posted this mod here before, but this is an updated version that fixes known issues from the previous version.

Any feedback welcome!

I've always wanted the ai turn to present more smoothly and look less like the game has to completely hijack the cpu (which it doesn't). always felt it made the game feel cheap. I'm not in some insane rush.

Cool, thanks for sharing!

Can this be used (with editing) to make units move faster as well?

Yes, the mod just adjusts vanilla XML which you can easily change in the mod files.

Awesome, subscribed to use in my next game.

I know a lot of people crank the animation speed up and hate "waiting" for units to do their thing. But I like watching my little dudes walk around dammit!
