Well, my example was hypthetical to start with. But it does make sense for
a full transport to be slowed down by its occupants. So if this option is
not used in any current game, it's probably because acp-occupant-effect has
not been widely used yet. Napoleon, which is one of the few games to use
it, seems to contain a lot of experimental stuff. It is the only game with
clouds. And one of the few with leaders.
