Everyone needs to remember that this is a demo!!!! n/t

Cavalry walk speed is about 6-8 km/h with trotting about x 2 walk speed. Most cavalry charges starts with a walk, about 3-400 meters away from the target, then goes into a trot about halfway and only the last 50 meter or so goes into a canter/gallop. Canter would be something like x 3 walk speed and gallop x 5-6 (but depends on horse and armour)

Cav walked 50% faster than standard infantry in MTW and thats realistic (with infantry standard march rate of 4 km/h) and running is x 2.2 of walk speed (so thats the trot). Canter and gallop would be faster than what we have in game but that was only done for a short distance anyway.

Edit: Anything faster than trot made it difficult to keep a close formation together.

Edit2: Cavalry in RTW demo seems to run 4 times as fast as it walking
