	The table below converts mobility stat values to the corresponding number of tiles for straight-line and diagonal movement, for blue ~~moves~~ and yellow moves (dashes). Columns 6 through 12 list straight-line tile values with applied movement modifiers. The table shows exact calculations. ~~For actual~~ in-game ~~movement values~~, the fractions ~~in the table~~ are rounded '''down''' to the next lower integer. E.g. ~~for~~ mobility ~~value~~ of 12, the calculated tile value of 7.99 is rounded down to 7 tiles of in-game movement.		The table below converts mobility stat values to the corresponding number of tiles for straight-line and diagonal movement, for blue and yellow moves (dashes). Columns 6 through 12 list straight-line tile values with applied movement modifiers listed in a previous section. The table shows exact calculations up to two decimal places. Since units can only move an integer number of tiles in the game, the fractions listed here are rounded '''down''' to the next lower integer, i.e. the decimal parts are truncated. E.g. given mobility of 12 points, the calculated tile value of 7.99 is rounded down to 7 tiles of in-game movement.

With the option '''Hidden Potential''' the movement attribute may increase when a [[Soldiers (EU2012)\|Soldier]] is promoted. This doesn't seem to be the case, when '''Hidden Potential''' is not selected.

			There are a couple of things that allow you to increase movement:

			* The '''Sprinter''' ability of the [[Support (EU2012)\|support class]]: +3 tiles (+6 tiles when dashing)
			* Armor
			** [[Skeleton Suit (EU2012)\|Skeleton Suit]]
			** [[Ghost Armor (EU2012)\|Ghost Armor]]
			** [[Psi Armor (EU2012)\|Psi Armor]]
			* [[Combat Stims (EU2012)\|Combat Stims]]
			* ''Combat Rush'' (triggered by the ''Adrenal Neurosympathy'' [[Gene Mods (EU2012)\|gene mod]])
