What is the formula for calculating army travel time along with cartography levels? Please give an example for the below how to calculate:
Speed- 80IM/hr
Cartogrpahy lev-17
Distance - 1044 IM
I asked this question in "Ask a Player" and they gave me the lamest reply:
The easiest way to figure this out, is to plug the name of the "potential" target into the attack menu, and also fill the fields with your slowest units, in your case I suspect either Trebuchets, Guardians, or Phalanx.. Then, click the "attack info" tab and a drop down will appear, it will give you your travel time information. =)
They treat every1 as in beginner level...i wanted to know the mechanics...Thanks!

t=(distance/(unit_speed*(1+ cartography_level/10 ))) * 60
if you send only cavalry
t=(distance/(unit_speed*(1+ cartography_level/10 + war_horses*0,03))) * 60

The formula above is right, you have to do the conversion from decimal to seconds, and then do the calculation to have it on the format of hours minutes and seconds.
BTW, you should never round the fractions of seconds: 29,99 seconds are 29 seconds.

t= (444/(200*(1+14*0,1+11*0,03)))*60=48,79... mins = 48 mins 47,47 secs - in normal speed realm - you probably play in 2x realm so you divide that by 2 = 24 mins 23 secs
