Also Pellaeon died on one.
None of the testers have access to this stuff in their builds yet, but I've been playing around with ground stuff a lot in the last week or so. Movement speeds for infantry have doubled (0.8 to 1.6) and vehicles have all increased somewhere between 20% and 50% as well. Line of sight has also been doubled for all units. Garrisons are also not unlimited now (except for infantry), which have been one of the biggest tedium-increasing factors in ground battles, I find. There's nothing worse than making all of this progress in ground battles, then it doesn't fucking matter at all because here comes the exact same units you just killed. Now you get two cycles of them, then it's over.
People will need to use infantry. They are necessary to capture reinforcement points (2.0 reverts to the distributed pop. system found in vanilla), abandoned structures (those sensor arrays and turbolasers can come in very handy), as well as bunkers and build pads.
