Cartography. Does it work?

[Goodlord]

 I have upgraded several times and cant see any speeding up in attack times. Is this because cart doesn't work or am I just to impatient?

carto does work. but it doesn't decrease ur speed, it decreases the time to travel (look at it like the distance is shorter, 'cause ur army knows better roads ). but it doesn't affect the base 40 min, so u may not notice the difference in attacks to ur close neighbors, but when u send ur army to an army save, u'll see the difference

but it doesn't decrease ur speed, it decreases the time to travel (look at it like the distance is shorter, 'cause ur army knows better roads )

it`s the same thing, decreasing the speed, or decreasing the time to travel in the same distance (speed is distance/time) 
those 40 mins are not travel time, but time needed for the army to deploy the sieges and stuff

there should be a rule that if u lose a battle ur army will return faster, they won't have sieges to slow them down, and if they were so scared that they fled the battle field, i don't think they'll wait for 40 min to start coming home, they'll run like crazy just to get in the protection of the fortress walls

well, maybe they have problems finding the faster way, or got drunk

  if u just lost 10k of ur comrades, and nearly ended up with ur guts on someone's sword, would u really stop in pub for a beer?

Especially then, I would drink till I could drink no more, just glad to B alive

 Thanks for the info guys. I guess I am impatient. If my boys get beat in a siege I would expect them to have a quick beer on the road home, then run to their woman for a cuddle then report for duty next day. A nice pie for breakfast and off to war again. That's what I pay them for after all................

if you lose a battle, i believe your troops return faster as your speed will be that of the slowest unit which is no longer a siege.  it´s not a rule, but they return faster if you lose and you took sieges...
