Forced March

So Several traits and drillmaster ancillary allow your general to move farther and to "force march" his troops. However, it appears that only the general himself gets the movement bonus and if he has an army with him it cannot move any faster than any other army. Am I missing something or is this broken? Why are my troops getting a morale penalty from their drillmaster trait general when he is not making them do anything more than normal?

If this has been answered elsewhere i apologize, searched and couldn't find it.

Just a guess, but you might be getting this impression from the fact that the general, as a cavalry unit, can always move further than the combined cav/infrantry units in his army.

The best way to test this for sure would be to note the movement distance of units with the general in the stack, then remove him from it and recheck.

that's no it, I got the same issue. when the general is alone, he can travel faster then any other unit (incl cavalry) with the "forced march" ability, but if he got even one unit, this doesn't apply anymore

That is not, however, the fair way to test it.

The only fair way to test whether this works or not is to compare the movement distance of the cavalry with and without the general; not the general with and without the cavalry.
