Amount of goods and crates

Those 1000 goods can't just be 1 type tho. It would have to be 500 of one, and 500 of another.

It was modified; I have 30m/min (max speed without quickmarch) with one kind of good (lets say 1000 pizzas) and equal number of horses.

oh ok that's interesting...

I guess if you added 500 of another type you would need 1500 horses?

Yeah its simple addition now really, no strange complicated rules.

The only thing that can fuck your speed is the amount of troops and equipment :if its really high it will lower your speed drastically, then if you move through forests/hills/mountains the slowing is multiplied by a lot and can lead to speed below 5 m/min even if you have enough horses.

So the only thing you have to be afraid of with caravans, is having too much troops/gear on it while going through difficult terrain.

The best caravans are around 500/1000 men with enough weapons for all and going through plains exclusively (except for really good shortcuts).
