The absolutely miniscule transfer radius between players (your name needs to fully overlap their name) was manageable in old strategus.  But it has become a nightmare of micro-management with a 75% speed reduction.  People constantly have to check on the hour if they moved that inch toward their ally and finally succeed after 4-5 hours.  Creating chains of supply lines is still preventable if we just increased the radius by 100%.  Doubled radius would allow trades if their names are touching, which is a fair tradeoff for 75% speed reduction that you get doubled radius.

A thousand times this. Trying to transfer without a fief to send stuff to is such a goddamn pain in the ass.

I agree transfer radius should be increased, but only slightly. Not like it was before. Its nice they have to atleast stay close to transfer and more tactical then staying inside a fief transferring miles away

Like half the attack range would be fine.

i believe at this thread normal players are requesting an increase for transfer range. but as soon as it is implemented, definitely some clans going to exploit it by using fire brigades.

Thread's quote back to you, "I will not be locked.  FREEEDOOOOOOMMMMMM!"

Also, the range even doubled is still so low you would need 400-500 people to do the fire brigades across a reasonable distance on the map.  With all the delays of not everyone being on at same time or coordinating.

Depends on how you look at this...it could also be considered a 300% decrease in distance traveled/min; the inverse of the speed d/t calculation

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.

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.
