Re: One map move, and what it it means
I only just realised that arco slingers are mapmove 1. Why? They are classic skirmishers / light missile troops.
I'm confused.

Re: One map move, and what it it means
All untrained militia troops, and all independents, have mapmove 1. The Arcos slinger type is the independent slinger type. That's the mechanical reason. As for a thematical one...  |

It's because they've got rocks in their pockets.

Re: One map move, and what it it means
when was the last time you tried marching an army 500 miles?
Untrained troops may just not have the stamina (or will) to march that far that fast.
Just like the reason undead havea mapmove 3 often is cuz they can walk day and night literally, no rests, no meals, no setting up camps for the night.
Reading the descriptions for LA pythium iirc has some 1's and 2's separated by their ability to be trained to march well, not by major equipment differences.

Re: One map move, and what it it means
None of which really makes sense when you consider the mixed forces usually used.
Undead shamble on through the night while the cavalry ride far ahead through the day and camp for the night. The mage controlling the undead has flying boots, so he also has map move 3, but he has to fly on ahead to get his beauty sleep, not stay up all night and day controlling the dead.
