Should unit built limits scale to map size?

But scaling movement would not only not make sense, but would remove one of the main reasons why people would play a larger map. When I play a huge map I expect it to take 10 turns to get to the nearest continent in a caravel.

But it doesn't take years for a modern DD, BB or CV(N) to cross the globe...

Where are teh cruisers!

I think this another realism vs. game-play-ism situation.

If you want modern cruisers to be able to "cross the globe" in less than "years" then I assume you think that on a huge map it should only be 1-3 years to "cross the globe". I assume crossing the globe is somewhat like half-circumnavigating (is there a word for this?) the globe, so i should take 2-6 years to go all the way around a huge globe. Take into consideration that, AFAIK, huge is bigger than Earth.

Then, following this logic, assuming this 2-6 years on huge has been scaled up from smaller sized maps (which is the suggested idea) then by my back-of-a-napkin-in-my-mind calculations, you should be able circumnavigate the globe thrice per turn on a duel sized globe.

No, no point to this post I'm just rambling...

I think it should scale.
