Marching through newly taken sectors (not old-owned, no mobility)

Note that the efficiency of a land unit does not affect the mobility
costs it pays to march, unless the unit is a supply unit. Then the
mobility costs are proportional to the efficiency of the unit.

Path Cost
The path cost is the cumulative mobility cost of moving through each
sector in the path. The cost to enter a sector is based on the
sector's type and efficiency. All sectors cost 0.4 to move into when
they have a 0% road factor, except for mountains which cost 5.0 at 0%.
The mobility cost to move into a sector goes down linearly as the
road efficiency increases. This represents the construction of roads.
sector's type and efficiency.
You can also build railways to make the moving of trains faster. When
marching trains about, the rail factor is used. Otherwise, the road
factor is used.
Sectors typically cost 0.4 at 0% efficiency, and 0.2 at 100%.
Efficient highways cost less, and mountains cost much more. See "show
sect stats" for the exact numbers.
See "info improve" for more information on improving the efficiency
ratings of your sectors, and see "info sinfrastructure" for information
on showing the infrastructure of your sectors.
Road infrastructure, if enabled, allows you to construct roads in
sectors and thus decrease their mobility cost by up to 90%.
Railway infrastructure, if enabled, decreases mobility cost by up to
99%, but only for marching trains.
See "info improve" for more information on improving the
infrastructure efficiency ratings of your sectors, and see "info
sinfrastructure" for information on showing the infrastructure of your
sectors.
See "info Infrastructure" for more general information on Infrastructure.
In any case, the sector mobility cost is at least 0.001, except for
marching land units, where it is at least 0.02.
