What if Boots of Long Strides gave mapmove 2?
As the title suggests, I'm pondering how good mapmove of 2 is, and how hard it should be to get. There are lots of old mages with mapmove 1, and only few items that increase the speed at which a commander can move. Boots of Long Strides would be a N1, Constr 0 alternative. Good, bad, ugly?
Modding the item to allow this is currently impossible. I'd also like to see an "Mechanical Mount" item that took foot slot and gave "mounted" tag, if item modding ever gets that far.

Re: What if Boots of Long Strides gave mapmove 2?
Sounds clever. But would it being a N1 Cons 0 be OK? Hmm. It might be, BoLS aren't very desirable as of now.

With the risk of sounding ignorant, what does the BoLS actually do?

'Running' intrinsinc makes moving around the battlefield cost half the AP it usually does, like Haste. Giving a unit more AP would be quickness; this allows the unit to walk twice as far without quickness.

I'd support this. BoLS are pretty useless currently.

Re: What if Boots of Long Strides gave mapmove 2?
Yes indeed. Could anyone suggest any tactic where BoLS is actually useful?

Re: What if Boots of Long Strides gave mapmove 2?
The boots are pretty much entirely useless as they stand, even mapmove 2 is likely too little, as long as the change is being made it might as well be mapmove 3.

Re: What if Boots of Long Strides gave mapmove 2?
I agree with Quantum. Mapmove 3 would be the way to go with them.

Re: What if Boots of Long Strides gave mapmove 2?
It would make them more interesting.
Like a nature version of the flying boots. Which are much better ATM because they give flying in combat, and 3 flying mapmove.

Re: What if Boots of Long Strides gave mapmove 2?
If Boots of Long Strides gave Mapmove 3, it could have some unforseen consequences. Some commanders currently have mapmove 1 and, for example, Forest Survival.
(Machakan) Hoplite Commander : 1, forest survival
Bane Spider : 1, forest survival
