Travel times in the Colonies are "normal" for a 2 turn island. the problem, of course, is that this means that what would normally be a 4 day trip, takes 8 days. I would love to see travel times cut in half, or by at least 20%.
I'm not convinced. The regions there are mostly rather freakin' huge. I recall travel times being horrible, *on top* of only having one turn and 8 hours a day.
