Can someone explain what type of bonus horses give to a party's speed?

[HardRice]

And some other dynamics i'm confused about.

If you had 10k horses and 1000 men, would you go faster than a party with 1100 men and 1100 horses?\

Does the type of horse affect the speed? Eg: destriers vs rouncies etc..

Do donkeys have the same effect as rounceys do on a party's speed?


Thanks in advance.

There are a few issues with the speed calculation, i'm not sure though if you would actually go faster with them fixed or not (it assumes you have more horses, but it also mixes up crates and number of goods in bonus and penalty calculations).

Slow horses give you a 30% speed bonus, fast horses 80%. If all troops and crates can be carried on fast horses only any slow ones you might have won't slow you down.

Sumpters count as slow, as will donkeys in the near future.

In order to get the speed bonus you need more horses than troops or crates (1 horse can carry 1 soldier and 1 crate). The current speed calculation has a few bugs though and you might end up with strange results when testing it, will be fixed in the next update.

Also the higher the number of troops is the higher the effect of the terrain on them. Does not apply to horses.
