Unit Speed in Battle

[Swagger]

hi guys


is there anyway to make specific units walk/run faster than others?


for example, i would like to have light cavalry to be faster than heavy cavalry, and the same for light/heavy infantry

Yes in kingdoms it's like this:

attributes sea_faring, hide_forest, can_withdraw, free_upkeep_unit
move_speed_mod 0.97
formation 1.0, 1.0, 2.4, 2.4, 4, square, shield_wall

In the example the unit will be moving 3% slower than normal.

and if i add

move_speed_mod 1.10

(10% more)?


or 1.0 is the limit?

You can go higher, from Americas campaign-

type             Tlaxcalan Warriors
dictionary       Tlaxcalan_Warriors      ; Tlaxcalan Warriors
category         infantry
class            light
voice_type       Light
banner faction   main_infantry
soldier          Aztec_Warriors, 60, 0, 1
attributes       sea_faring, hide_forest, can_withdraw
move_speed_mod   1.3

and if i add

move_speed_mod 1.10

(10% more)?


or 1.0 is the limit?

Yep 10% more. Be careful though, animations will mess up and look bad if you raise the units speed too much. They will probably catch cav when charging at 1.3 for example.

i know, i was just wondering if 1.0 was the limit


i remember having the canons of the holy sepulcher with that bonus..
