you could travel in walkspeed on the easy terrain, but still have to crawl in forest and on mountains...
Is this not how carts already work? That's how it worked when they were first implemented...

And considering the sheer distance between villages, crawl speed through rough terrain is no longer reasonable. It is very unlikely that roads will extend any further than the local supergrid, taking into account the tremendous effort required and that rivers are the normal method of traveling long distances.

How about if the speed you could move with a cart was based off of how many items you have in the cart and the terrain? Perhaps an empty cart could let you run through rough terrain (for pretty decent stamina drain) or sprint across a paved road (or dirt road, whichever). Then what if after you add two items to the cart your speed across all terrain is down graded? (to walk/run respectively)

Of course I'm just pulling numbers out of thin air, but I had not seen it suggested yet.

What's the point of hauling an empty cart around?

What's this tendency of weakening the impact of suggestions I see happening all around? I have a theory it's an unconscious attempt at compromise with the unconscious goal of making the ideas more appealing for implementation. Which is completely fail if it's true.

It would be better if they made a cart pulled by a mount animal which is faster than the man pulled one instead.
