if by movement rate you mean the available distance an army can travel, its considerably larger than RTW though we will be tweaking it during our testing phase. There are roughly 12 capitals on the map (give or take a few) and the amount of settlements to be gained or lost is still being decided. You will only be able to upgrade vertain cities twice and even then they will be limited. There are towns, large towns and cities. towns and large towns are limited in their troop production (mostly militia) and will not have stone walls. Cities open up troop production and gain a stone wall. Capitals will be able to be all your factions troops. Turns per year is still a secret.
