Ok this might be dumb but here it goes, there’s a number in white to the right of the Spd word in my hud and it constantly changes, yet i don’t know what it is, can somebody please enlighten me? thanks 
Speed, your available Action Points.
Keep that number up.
Ok now i get it, the nomber on the right is the move base cost and the one in the left is my current speed, i also noticed that when i move diagonaly it’s higher any idea why?
You’ll have the “Circular Distanes” option set, you can unset it in the options menu if you want diagonal moves to have the same cost as orthogonal ones.
