Do light infantry move faster than heavy infantry?

[Guy with a spoon]

Do light infantry move faster than heavy infantry? so for example do peasants move faster than chosen swordsmen?

Thanks.

[Paul d]

dunno, test it and see. they do, i think

either that or they tire slower, and weather etc effects them less

[Selifator]

I think that skirmishers move faster than heavy infantry. And yeah, they tire less.

[Vault Dweller]

Yes. If you select your Chosen Swordsmen and then your Barbarian Peasants, and order both to run to a spot a fair way away, a difference in speed will emerge, growing clearer the further they run. Skirmishers are even faster than Light Infantry.

[Orkunion]

light infantry moves quicker heavy infantry is slow,

light cavalry is quicker than heavy cavalry etc. etc. hope this help

[movemove]

since this wasnt under test conditions the thingy might be wrong

id like to add that spearmen probably can be classified with light and heavy, for example, having armoured hoplites/sparetans being in the same class as militia hoplites is so,mewhat misleading..

so as the TSE against the greeks, I have a unit of levy poikemen and am being approahed by a unit of armoured hoplites, naturally, I try to keep my levy pikemen and their crap morale away from the greek beasts, so I exit phalanx and run away but then the greeks do the same. after a while I notice my pikemen have widened the gap with the greeks, even though both are running (and Im pretty sure both were fresh/warmed up)
if you look carefully (or if you look at them at all) levies wear nothing but a helmet. (armour that is, they dont fight nude) while armoured hoplites wear fake metal abs, full faced helmets and greaves.
I might be wrong, but then this is just my input.

Some units have in description - fast moving

fastest is probly one cavalry from the Alexander, that is light and fast but weaak eek

[Vault Dweller]

The armour rating might have something to do with it then.

[LeonidasOfSparta]

isnt that obvius?

more armour unit has its slower...for ex cohort is very well armoured while archer is vurnebable to missiles... that means cohort will tire faster and is much slower..

[Vault Dweller]

The physics may be obvious, but not whether it is a feature of the game.

[LeonidasOfSparta]

its not physics..omg..cant u simply start game and try?

do u think cohorts run faster then archerS?can u explain to me how?

[Domitius]

Cohorts run slower than archers. I think the units are divided into classes: Light infantry, missile infantry, heavy infantry, heavy cavalry, light cavalry and artillery. Cahriots run as fast as light cavalry and spearmen are divided into heavy/light infantry. This is just what I think, but I don't think it's a matter of armor, just unit types.

[Roman Clone]

It mostly also depends on the armor.

[Kratos]

Light infantry are faster than heavy infantry, but heavy infantry are often more disiplined and reacts more quickly. Not much of a difference if they are to run across the map but it may give them a chance on a shorter distance.

[NobleNick]

In general:

Light cavalry moves slightly faster than heavy cavalry;
Heavy cav moves much faster than Light infantry;
Light infantry moves slightly faster than heavy infantry;
Heavy infantry moves much faster than siege weapons.

The stamina is not so straightforward. Generals (heavy cav) typically tire much less easily than light cav. the same is true for many of the elite heavy infantry: they tire less easily than many of the light infantry units. Look for the label "good stamina" or better in the unit description page. Peasants do not have good stamina.

[Themaster]

The fastest unit in the game has to be wardogs (unleashed)thayre so fast u usally dont see them till thayre 2 feet away P.S spearmen are slow in phalanx and o.k in norman formation (barbarian warband are farster than others)

[Vault Dweller]

Leonidas, calm down. Did I in any way attack you? No. And it is in a way related to physics. Also, what I was asking was whether that was how the creaters coded speed, or was it something else. Settle down.
EDIT: PLEASE do not use "omg", "lol", etc.

[LeonidasOfSparta]

wat u think u gonna tell me wat im gonna write herE?

i will writ lol omg and watever i want when i want....


BACK TO TOPIC:

-ye i agree with dogs theyr very fast and can be used to chase chariot archers/ ha

[Vault Dweller]

I really wouldn't care if you weren't confronting with your use of it.

[LeonidasOfSparta]

well i don care wat u care really
