Walker Speeds
Pecunia has provided detailed information on walker speeds.
While trying to convert the walker speed values from EmperorFiguresModels.txt for every walker in the city I came across something odd. Most walkers have speed ‘8’, which seems to be the ‘international standard speed’ in Emperor (equivalent to 54.4 tiles/month = standard speed in every Impressions citybuilder to date). So has the diviner, according to the file. However, I noticed in the game that a diviner is slower than the rest of the walkers in my housing block, such as guards, inspectors and water carriers. I will post the table here, but I cannot guarantee all numbers are right, since the data seems to be hardcoded in the game, and not in separate models.
Speed conversion table:
Value in the models | Tiles/month |
---|---|
0 | 0 |
1 | 10.2 |
2 | 13.6 |
3 | 20.4 |
4 | 27.2 |
5 | 30.6 |
6 | 40.8 |
7 | 51.0 |
8 | 54.4 |
9 | 61.2 |
10 | 68.0 |
11 | 71.4 |
12 | 81.6 |
13 | 91.8 |
14 | 95.2 |
15 | 102.0 |
16 | 108.8 |
17 | 112.2 |
18 | 122.4 |
Following table with the speed of all walkers is taken directly from the models, please don’t fully trust it, as I said, at least the religious walkers are listed wrong.
