Fleet speed

Need help!
Is there any way to somehow modify fleet speed?
(all vessels have the same speed, do they?)
It takes 8-12 turns to travel from Sicily to Crete, and Mediterran is NOT a Pacific ocean.
Current situation entirely ruins the idea of talassocratia, my islanders are doomed to live in exile without visiting capital and helping each other with reinforcements.

I agree.

Should fleets not have drastically larger movement spheres? According to Cato the Elder in his "fig speech", Carthage was about 3 days sail away. It would take you more than 2 years to sail from Carthage to Rome on EB.

Perhaps all admirals should be scripted to recieve hefty movement bonuses upon recruitment.

Speaking of movement speeds...is there any way to make a general's movement bonuses effect his entire army, and not just his bodyguard unit? Or is this hardcoded?

Could be a solution!

They do affect his entire army, one of my uberstacks can't move at all because:
1. it's winter;
2. my ubergeneral is "on his deathbed".

And my general started olynpic games in the middle of the sea.Someone really needs to make the admirals move more.

If TW's idea worked...that would be great....although, you would still have to make it a little unrealistic, otherwise you could sail from india to greece in one turn....or something roughly resembling that. I don't really know what the sailing time is, but you get my point.

Then again, would that really be such a bad thing?

Unfortunately (please, correct me, if I'm wrong) admiral's and general's movement bonuses are not cumulative and while you transport a general it's his movement bonus only that affects vessel speed
