I'll mine the internet dry before I go back to fumbling around with a pencil and hex paper.

I mean that the time ...Sorry that this is unclear. I mean that the time to cross the hex is increased by 1 day for every change in elevation of 400 ft. This is either up or down, given that a loaded wagon moving down a slope can be even harder to move than one going up slope.<br /><br />Thus, if a wagon takes two days to cross from one hex to the next, this time is increased to three days if the destination hex is 400 feet +/- (or to 2.1 days if the destination hex is 40 feet +/-)Alexis Smolenskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10539170107563075967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871409676946408069.post-75052887598212966502010-06-28T08:49:16.966-06:002010-06-28T08:49:16.966-06:00"So in considering a loaded wagon, I consider..."So in considering a loaded wagon, I consider the steady rise of land from sea level to 400 ft. over a distance of 20 miles is equivalent to a full day of travel (which, in a wagon, is 5 to 10 miles over flat ground, depending upon how heavily loaded)."<br /><br />I'm confused here - am I just reading this wrong? I would think that a wagon going up an incline would travel fewer miles in a single day than one on flat ground. Or are you saying that the wagon travels 20 miles overall, but the total distance is only 5-10 miles if you could fly straight there?Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00433823836676600019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871409676946408069.post-43991555637115873442010-06-28T00:34:56.357-06:002010-06-28T00:34:56.357-06:00Bugger apologizing.
