# Troops Speed Increase & Tournament Square

Troops Speed Increase & Tournament Square

Troop movement speed can be increased in several ways. These bonuses can come from **hero items**, **artefacts**, and the **Tournament Square** building. All speed bonuses are **stackable**, but some work differently depending on distance.

## **Tournament Square**

The **Tournament Square** increases movement speed **after the first 20 fields**.

-   Each level adds **+20% speed** (multiplicative after 20 fields).
    
-   At level 20, the total bonus is **+500%**, meaning troops move **5× their base speed** after the first 20 fields.
    

Tournament Square requires **Rally Point level 15**.

## **How Multiple Bonuses Stack**

Speed bonuses follow specific stacking rules:

1.  **Boots** and **Tournament Square** bonuses **add together**, but only apply **after 20 fields**.
    
2.  All other bonuses (Pennants, Standards, Artefacts) **multiply** with each other.
    
3.  Final speed is calculated by multiplying all applicable bonuses.
    

### **Example**

-   Boots of the Mercenary: **+25%**
    
-   Tournament Square level 10: **+200%**
    
-   Artefact bonus: **×2**
    
-   Standard: **+20%**
    

**First 20 fields:**  
Base speed × 2 (artefact) × 1.2 (standard) = **2.4× base speed**

**After 20 fields:**  
Base speed × 2 (artefact) × 1.2 (standard) × (1 + 0.25 + 2) = **5.65× base speed**

In the table below you can find the construction costs and time, as well as the bonus for each level of Tournament Square.
