Movement

[Sylverrs_ dragon]

Distance one can travel depends on who is doing the travelling obviously.
Zule armies, for example, had no trouble moving 50 miles in a day and
fighting a battle when they got there. The base intended movement rate is 20
on foot and 40 mounted, as a general rule, when moving on flat terrain on a
road. Else the intent is 10 and 20. For those wishing to make it more
complex, the MR in miles is the distance a person can travel in a strategic
turn without undue stress. Will try to make that clearer in rewrite when I
have time to get back to it.
