Horse speed bonus

[Knute]

I was moving at 24m per minute with a bunch of troops, sold them and bought 2 rouncey.

Now I have 1 troop, no trade goods, 2 rouncey and I'm moving at 32.175m per minute on plains.  Should be more like 43m per minute right?


- added horse speedup - if you have more horsies than goods and troops, you get a speed buff:
 sumpter horse *1.3, every other horse * 1.8
 ------------------------------------------

edit:  I now have more goods than horses but still moving 32.175 on plains.  I have 1 troop, 2 rouncey and 23 goods.

[Plaksteris]

The same problem with Steppe Horse.

[Bjarky]

then it seems like it's a bug.
At fifteen, I had the will to  learn ; at thirty, I could stand ; at forty, I had no  doubts ; at fifty, I understood the heavenly Bidding ;  at sixty, my ears were opened ; at seventy, I could  do as my heart lusted without trespassing from the  square....

How did you sell your troops?  Or did you transfer them?

I transfered them to another player for cRPG gold.  It's a good time to be in the Bartering Brigade, business is booming.

Lol, now i have Sumpter horse and 44.550 speed 
It seems like 1.8 multiplier for sumpter horse and 1.3 for all others 

[Bjarky]

lol

[Blondin]

I'm at 60 meters per min with the sumpter with 1 troop.

In fact that make sense, a sumpter is better for transporting goods and long trip than a horse made for war.
Don't know if it was intended...

I thanks my sumpter, bandits like Brd could not raid my caravan anymore, i'm wondering if i will make a fast track into their lands just for the lulz (I'm not an official merchant in their eyes, i will spy!)

I'll try to keep a list of the changes in here so people don't have to search it from all around. Also, I'll unsticky it when I'm adding something, because no on reads stickies.

STRATEGUS_WAGE changed from 2.5 to 1.8
$wage = (pow(troops, 1.03) * STRATEGUS_WAGE - 100)/24

- added horse speedup - if you have more horsies than goods and troops, you get a speed buff:
 sumpter horse *1.3,
 every other horse * 1.8

If all your band ride a horse the multiplier should be at least *5. You go really faster on horse. Try it IRL ;)

Actually no. Horses tire faster than humans, so for long marches humans are faster. But for the QUICK march, on the other hand!
