its somewhere between MTW2 and RTW its fast but not game breaking. ive started playing MP for first time and althoguh i do find myself frantically tryign to pause at times i am still able to i assume you mean kill speeds when you mean the sped of battles and in this respect it is faster than MTW2 but not as bad as RTW when units just dissolved under a charge. even ashigaru will hold for a few short time under a charge so that you can at least get some support units in there.
