No, fatigue only comes when units do close combat attacks, or cast spells. Marching doesn't cause fatigue. Still, the heavy plate does cause fatigue that can make the chainmail Ulmish infantry better in some situations than the plate infantry. Also because you get more of them.

They're all tough, so when you need more numbers, like at the beginning, I tend to go for the fastest builds: Maul/Axe Chainmail troops, with some shield/mail troops to block arrows.

whats base encumberance then ?
there is base encumberance , lowest value
melee encumberance , midvalue .
and spell casting encumberance , highest value .

so do you get the base encumberance then by missile weapons like bows ?

[PvK]

No. Base encumbrance is the encumbrance of the unit when it is nude. Encumbrance values of equipment are added to this to get effective encumbrance.

.. and twice the equipment encumbrance is added to get the effective spellcasting encumbrance.

So wearing heavy armor is a no-no for a spellcaster, usually.
