Forced March

[sapi]

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

[sapi]

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.

[Per Ole]

same thing there, no change in movement speed

[Patricius]

It seems a pointless trait. The army should move faster. Maybe Kingdoms fixes it.

As far as I know it works only if the other units have been in the general´s stack since the beginning of the turn.

The way i am drawing my conclusion was i had a city with a garrison in it including multiple generals, one with the trait one without. The trait general could move farther than his brother, each by himself. Then I moved the trait general out of the city with a few units. Some other units without a general went along the same path and could move just as far. And I know that cav can move farther than inf can move father than arty, that wasn't it.

I'd concur with that. Your Drillmaster general needs to be outside a settlement with a stack of units at the beginning of the turn in order for the trait to increase the movement of those units.
