Re: movement bug

I do have a little suggestion to make with regards to the movement bug
on horseback ...
If we examine the situation closely the movement should be restricted
keeping the number of moving creatures in mind. What I mean by that is
this: when one noble walks from one province into another with x number
of peasants, it's obvious that the number of peasants is the restricting
factor. But when moving on horseback we should keep in mind that not as
much horses are needed to mobilise that same number of men. Putting it
in figures:

(moving to a forest province)

walking speed: noble +50 peasants = 8+5 days=13 days

running speed: noble + 50 peasants + 34 horses = 4 + 5 days = 9 days

While actually the restriction should be with the horses, if we look at
the last situation there's actually only 34 horses running, not 51 men.
so the restriction should be, in my honest opinion, 4 + 3 = 7 days...

Did I make myself clear enough? If not, please reply, I'll try
explaining it differently.
I honestly think that this should be the case, restriction in walking
speed is to the number of men, while running speed is to the number of
horses...

started*
