Sea units can suffer an "infinite" movecost, since they might not be
able to enter the destination at all. Since obviously "infinite" does
not trigger the behaviour we expect, maybe choosing the highest value
is the wrong track, and the estimate should be optimistic if the
player/ai has indicated it is willing to explore by choosing an
unknown tile as a destination?

Maybe 1 or even 1/3 if the unit benefits from roads and the tile is
adjacent to roads?
