This article details how '''movement''' works under the hood in ''[[Underrail]]''.__FORCETOC__

== Basics ==

At its core, Underrail's game engine is real-time with smooth movement. This is converted into discrete square map tiles and combat turns for gameplay purposes.

* One turn equals 5 seconds
* Moving the distance of one tile costs 10 MP
* The unmodified movement speed equals 135 MP

Distances are calculated as two-dimensional [[Wikipedia: Euclidean distance|Euclidean distances]] (also known as Pythagorean distances) and movement point costs are rounded up to integer.
:'''Example:''' Moving one tile diagonally costs ''15 MP'', moving 10 tiles diagonally costs ''142 MP''. (Rounded up from 14.1421356237 and 141.421356237 respectively.)

Items and effects that modify movement speed or movement points usually modify both. These values are not automatically converted, they're manually defined on each source of movement modifiers, so they're not necessarily completely consistent.

== Real-time ==

All movement speed modifiers stack additively, except [[Stealth Mode]] penalty, which is multiplicative with the others.

Agility, MP/AP, Armor Penalty, etc. have no effect on movement speed.
