Unit 1 uses foot movement. It is moving from A to B. A distance of about 2k

Unit 2 uses wheeled movement. It is moving from C to D. A distance of about 3k


They are behind the lines and will not meet any enemy during the journey.

How do I get them to arrive at the same time?

You may ask yourself, "how would I do this if I had to plan it in real life?"

assume wheeled (w) speed is 9km/hr and foot (f) speed is 4km/hr

3/9= 1/3 hr for w to arrive at D. And it will take 2/4 hr for f to arrive at B.

The difference in time = 2/4-1/3 or 1/6 hr. So w should wait 1/6 hr or 10 minutes after f leaves before it leaves.

But you cannot assume that as it varies according to the terrain and the weather. Also the staff work is done by the game - not by me.

Instead i suggest an enhancement. "Arrive at".


This game is about staff doing the calculations
You select a unit.
Select a movement method.
Use "duration" to determine how long it will take to move from A to B. ( Duration does not currently work).
BTW I don't want to know how long it will take. Instead, I want to kniow what time it will arrive.

Determing that unit 1 would arrive at 11am and unit 2 would arrive at 1pm

Set both units to "Arrive at 1pm".

This moves the staff work from the player to computer. This is waht the game is about.
