Has anyone figured out movement rates?

borders affecting movement?

Does the rule of borders adding an extra 0.5 movement points really apply during wartime? I am quite certain that my Muscovite hordes of infantry started their march across the Lithuanian border, into open terrain, on the 16th of March, and arrived on the 1st of April (just as planned, to have as much time possible to eliminate the enemy, or at least force the enemy out of the province, before the end of April to reduce attrition).

This is exactly one half of a month (15 days), which is as it should be without borders, while it should be 1.5/2 = 0.75 months (22 days) if the +0.5 rule for border crossing was functioning properly. Or was I dreaming?

Indeed...it frequently does none of these.

Nor should it - nor should the human player.

The AI does do the reinforcing trick a lot of times but I am sure that is not intentional - it just tries to get its troops into the battle as quickly as it can - sometimes it helps but most of the time it means being defeated piecemeal by throwing 1K and 2K batallions against a 20K army.

Well...Ok if you want to twist arms........no the human player shouldn't. But...

Yes. Play on a really slow computer where 1 day=five min. and you will see the difference.
