Diagonals

There's a bit more to this (diagonals for instance are a puzzle for me to figure out) but the 0.625 value is close to the truth, although I've seen a lot of discussion on this.

If you set that each game square costs 1.625 and the diagonal costs 2.298 points to move then it matches the ingame results (7 squares straight, 5 squares on a diagonal).

It would be nice to have also a summary of the different items/armor and how much extra points/squares they give. Sprinter is described to add 3 extra tiles (or squares) movement, so that would correspond to 4.875 movement points, for instance. Hobbes 10:36, 8 December 2013 (EST)

The difficulty is compounded by the fact the page announces two different ratios: Multiplying the movement stat by 0.625 is equivalent of each tile costing exactly 1.6 movement; while the formula "each tile costs 1.625" is equivalent to multiplying the movement stat by about 0.615 Medinoc (talk) 16:52, 14 January 2016 (EST)
