marching Very quickly and not just quicKly

[hach]

played a couple of mp games last night.

as far as i am aware there are 2 speeds a unit can march at either marching or marching quicly'but twice i saw enemy units marching VERY quickly.

my heavy cav unit was travelling quickly back to my lines'and he sent a heavy cav unit in pursuit travelling VERY quickly.

and i'm thinking this guys gonna catch my guys coz he has a top gear that i'm not aware of here.

so is there 3 speeds??
if so how do you get the VERY quick one?

he broke of pursuit so i never found out if he would have caught up with my cav unit.

i also saw an enemy foot unit marching VERY quickly too.

Hmmmm...I'm not aware of a third speed, but I'm still learning undocumented "features" about this game all the time http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/tongue.gif

Perhaps what you're seeing is the inherent ability of a unit-type. For example, Ashis & YC are renowned fast units so they may get to very quickly while archers and guns won't.

Tell me if you ever see a naginata traveling at warp speed http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/wink.gif

it is documented it is run cntr r i think it is as long as your guys are fresh they can do it well most of the time anyway also if you right click on a unit you see a list run is on that list to

i have had the same experience with my YC. they were charging enemy CA and i kept double clicking until they weant into turbo mode. afterwards they were tired but destroyed the CA. i have never seen it again after that though.

So is this really true, then? Imagine that... my pretty horsies haven't been running at their top speed for all this time!

This "Very Quickly" thing seems to apply only to certain units. When I tried it, my Nodachi ran "Very Quickly" with just a simple double-click. With my cavalry, however, I couldn't get "Very Quickly", no matter what I tried.

Interesting.

units will run very quickly when their status is impetous (or whatever it's called)
