Quickest path

The army will choose the quickest route to its destination based on four things:

  1. The terrain types it has to navigate
  2. The composition of the army; how many cavalry, infantry and archers
  3. Whether it will cross any borders to provinces which are owned by a different player, or to a rebel province
  4. Whether a piece of the route is on a road, or off-road

Terrain modifiers
Each terrain gives advantages and disadvantages to certain units, which you can see by clicking on the terrain icons on the map. Below is an overview of terrains and units:

  • Forest
    • Advantage: Infantry
    • Disadvantage: Cavalry
  • Plains
    • Advantage: Cavalry
    • Disadvantage: Archers
  • Mountains
    • Advantage: Archers
    • Disadvantage: Infantry

Tips

  • If you see the army wants to take a certain route, but you'd like a different one, try changing the army composition to find a quicker route.
  • You can use the features of the map as a strategic advantage, by creating armies which can travel across a certain terrain type very well.
