Infantry Marching & Running Speeds

[Miracle]

Notes:
- May be incomplete; I did not test all infantry units
- Does not take into account slowdown due to straggling or fatigue
- The armour levels below refer to the base armour level, not what it can be upgraded to
- Upgraded armour has no effect on speed

Marching Speeds:

• Very Slow
  - All spearwall polearm units
• Slow
  - All pike units
• Normal - 1.80 m/s
  - All other infantry and missile infantry units

Running Speeds:

• Very Slow - 2.63 m/s
  - Dismounted Gothic Knights
• Slow - 2.99 m/s
  - All infantry units with partial or full plate armour except Obudshaer
  - All 2H Sword units except DGK
• Normal - 3.59 m/s
  - Most infantry units
  - Most mid to upper-tier missile infantry units
  - All spearwall polearm units
• Fast - 4.27 m/s
  - All unarmoured missile infantry
  - All missile infantry with padded armour except Norse Archers
  - All gunpowder infantry except Hand Gunners
  - Aventuriers, Crossbowmen, ME Crossbow Militia and Naffatun
  - Sudanese Tribesmen and Highlanders
  - Most Aztec infantry

Comments:
- It may be better to completely ignore DCK's in favor of DFK's. DFK's have better availability, faster running speed and lower recruitment price at the cost of only one armour point.
- If cavalry is completely unavailable, infantry units with the “fast” running speed may be used to chase routing infantry, especially if they are “slow” or “very slow.”
