How do I increase map speed?

[Craigerz]

I've an army of about 70 or so mounted riflemen. I thought that would make me fast but I'm so slow (2.9 at night, 4.9 in ddaytime on flat ground) I can't catch anything. I have 3 points in pathfinding but it doesnt seem to do any good. What else van I do?

Thx

Are you using mercenaries? They have a bug where buying them horses don't increases your move speed. Also check your morale, specially for companions. Low morale decreases speed. Other than that just keep increasing pathfinding, the bonus is small but in the end it makes a big difference.

Is there a fix for the bug?

So of I recruit from villages then I can add horses to inventory and increase speed?

Giving horses to musketman or infantry does not make them go faster.  To increase map speed: increase your path-finding skill, have a smaller army, or have a pure cavalry army.

In my experience keeping horses in the inventory doesn't increase speed.
