Increasing map speed?

Is there a way to increase the effect of the pathfinding skill or otherwise increase the speed in which you travel on the main map?
 
I can give you a few tips for travelling faster.

- Raise the Pathfinding skill (I think you know this one already). Borcha or Klethi are good for this.

- Larger parties travel slower than smaller ones.

- Higher-level units travel faster than lower-level, and cavalry faster than footsoldiers.

- Put extra horses in your inventory (doesn't matter which type) and they will act as "packhorses", reducing your speed penalty for items in the inventory.

Large FOOT armies slow you down. Large cavalry armies actually move very quickly over the map (not as fast as solo of course but faster than most armies).

Just watch the speed of Khergit war parties and Nord war parties for evidence of this.

To clarify, pack horses only speed you up if you're traveling alone.

I already said cavalry moves faster than foot. Heck, you bolded it. The "more men = slower movement" still applies with cavalry. Travel with just yourself and then with fifty horsemen. You move slower with more men.

I am no sure why you are asking, but make sure to not build any massives armies at the beggining while you actually need to chase people down like bandits, never go over 30-40 soldiers, and make sure most of them are mounted. You will have no problem at all.
 
that one was more of the coding, like the tweaking topic above, I looked through it and didn't see one for it so I figured I'd ask.

What I had meant to say... and yay for posting after being awake for nearly 24 hours...

Large foot only armies will slow you down while large cavalry ONLY armies will move faster. Having added cavalry to a foot army wont increase the speed much beyond the base for that army. You would need the majority of that army to in fact be horsemen to gain any significant increase.

Of course the solo horseman (you) is the fastest on the map as well.

I meant to detail it more because your post implies that by adding cavalry you'll go faster... but that's not entirely true. It wont increase it by much unless the majority are horses.

Ahh, I see what you mean now. Yes, a good point.

I thought they only speed you up if your party is encumbered by lots of goods.
