Some people find the wording for the description of using prestige to speed up caravans to be confusing.

There are two options to increase caravan movement:

1) Double your currently moving trade units' speed

2) Double incoming trade units' movement speed

The first operates on trade units OWNED by the current city. The second operates on any trade units INCOMING to the current city (including those belonging to the city as well as to other cities and other players).

Those who were playing before the second option was added clearly understand the difference, but it may not be as apparent to newer players.

I suggest the wording be changed to:

1) Double the movement speed of all currently moving trade units owned by this city

2) Double movements of trade units (from any city or player) incoming to this city

Or some similar wording that makes the distinction more clear. I'm not sure if the parenthetical part helps or not.

What do others think?

Edit: Martilicious is the player who pointed out this wording is confusing. Thanks Marti!

I totally agree Rill. When I first joined this game almost a year ago, I was confused by the wording and had a minute of deliberation before picking one. I think the wording should be more apparent to prevent confusion and accidental waste of prestige, since that is rather valuable for new players.

[03:17]<Martilicious> if the two said

'all of your currently selected cities incoming' or

'all of your currently selected cities outgoing'

then it would be clearer. If that is actually what the buttons do? Now I'm confused.
