Hi,
that would be great, i started testing right now. A few things:

1. It crashes, if you have a trireme, and press g. Dont even have to go to 
unknown territory, just pressing g is enough. With other units, it works 
great.
In cvs and 2.0.2 it crashes with: 
civclient: path_finding.c:796: create_danger_segment: Zusicherung 
»!pf_map->d_lattice[ptile->index].is_dangerous« nicht erfüllt.
Abgebrochen
"Zusicherung" means assertion, "nicht erfüllt" means not fullfilled, 
"Abgebrochen" means aborted"

I hope you can fix this :)

2. MC-Factor of 10 is way too high. I think it should be different for Land 
and Sea units, for Landunits it should be the MC-value of Mountain, for Sea 
it should be 2 (so double the amount of  normal Movement-Cost) or 1,5.

The reason is, that you _want_ to exlore, when you set goto into unknown 
territories, especially with Sea-Units. If you want a save way to some tile, 
you click on a tile you know. Maybe there should be a difference in MC-factor 
whether you know the target-tile or not, because that probably reflects the 
true intent of the user: Does he want to get there, or does he want to 
exlpore there.

Attached is a Picture proving 10 is too high ;)
