|

|
Expert Navigation: increases your hero's movement points at sea by 150%. | |
Increases the hero's Movement over Water in boats, before Lighthouses bonuses. Battle Mages cannot learn Navigation.
Heroes, having Navigation as a specialty and a starting skill:
Specialization increases the hero's movement points at sea by 5% for each level of the hero. 5% is taken from the base amount of the hero's movement at sea (1500) and does not depend on hero's skill in Navigation. The formula for calculating the hero's maximum movement points at sea: 1500 + 75 * N, where N - level of the specialist.
Artifacts with similar ability

The relevance of Navigation directly depends on the percentage of water area on the map. If sea voyages are its important part, then Navigation will help a lot. If the map is terrestrial, then this secondary skill is useless. |
