However, on the other hand, i enjoy it. in the lategame, having an army that can move 8 tiles per turn on the strategic map is very useful, and feels well deserved for your effort.
Thats really how you feel? 
It causes more bugs by wandering out where you cant see.
Also, try seeing the AI using it against you before you think its great
.
On average I don't even find it fun myself, because it just seems like a gap in the mechanics, and like all other gaps, I try it, chuckle a bit, report it on the forum, and then is annoyed when its not fixed 
(now you should have a picture of a spoiled little kid in mind ofcourse)
Currently I think movement scale waaaay too much, 2 movement is just "slow" in this game, and if the standard rate of movement is slow... Well fill in your blanks here.
