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.
Hero Items That Increase Speed
Pennants
Increase troop movement speed between your own villages.
Bonus applies only when the hero travels with the troops.
Bonus range: 30%–50% faster.
Standards
Increase troop movement speed between alliance or confederacy members.
Bonus applies only when the hero travels with the troops.
Bonus range: 15%–25% faster.
- Hero Left Hand Items
Boots
Increase troop movement speed after the first 20 fields of travel.
Bonus applies only when the hero travels with the troops.
Bonus range: 25%–75% faster.
The first 20 fields are always traveled without this bonus.
- Hero Armour
Artefact Bonus
Titan’s Boots
Large artefact: 1.5× speed
Small or unique artefact: 2× speed
These bonuses apply regardless of 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:
Boots and Tournament Square bonuses add together, but only apply after 20 fields.
All other bonuses (Pennants, Standards, Artefacts) multiply with each other.
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.
