The Transfer Radius should be increased since speed decreased by 75%

Why not solve fire brigades, not by reducing the transfer radius, but by having transfers not be instantaneous. Have them take an hour to transfer, and tweak the transfer radius accordingly.

I just thought about that myself. Caravans, that transfer your gold/equip/tropps to the player you want, but they take some time.

I disagree. everything is ok with this. there are plenty of more important thing that should be done and fixed.

If this is to be implemented, the transfer radius must be no larger than the distance you can move in an hour. Otherwise fire brigades will still be possible, but they will be a giant pain in the ass to manage unless your members are online 24/7.

Actually, I think that the transfer radius should be larger than the distance you can move in one hour. I see no problem with fire brigade behaviour itself, only the fact that it was once instantaneous. I actually like the idea of non-instantaneous fire brigades because they are reminiscent of supply lines or player built "roads". I outline some possible implications in the thread I linked to.

Actually, I'm really liking this idea of roads in general. Just dirt colored lines on the map between towns. If you get on them, it could move your speed up to 4 or something. And to make things more of a pain, you could make them curved like hell so people have to be checking the map constantly to correct their path and actually take advantage of them.

I believe the devs have said there will be different terrain types in new strat. I don't know about roads, but I know they mentioned like mountains being slower to go on.
