Resolved Are human players supposed to be faster than AI troops in Captain mode?

[Aerational]

You can outrun all your own AI troops, and heavily armored captains can easily catch enemy AI troops wearing no armor. It's difficult to kite with archers when the enemy captains can all catch your troops regardless of their armor/weapon. It's especially noticeable when you lead a formation of cavalry, they lag very far behind when you have them set to follow.

I feel like they just aren't moving at full speed for whatever reason... they seem to go faster when you set them to "attack" but if you are ordering them to move in formation or follow you it's like they will top out at 75% of their potential speed. Would be nice if Captains were only as fast as their own unit type and/or AI units moved at their full speed as long as they are in a non-shielded formation.

Troops in formation are moving slowly because they have to be in the formation. If the formation is loose then you can see their speeds.
