1. What is the ROK Speed Formula?

The ROK (Rise of Kingdoms) Speed formula calculates the effective speed of units by combining the base speed with percentage-based buffs. It provides a more accurate assessment of movement speed in the game.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the ROK Speed formula:

Where:

• \( Base \) — Base speed of units (units/h)
• \( Buffs \) — Percentage speed buffs (%)

Explanation: The equation accounts for the additive effect of percentage buffs on the base speed of units.

3. Importance of Speed Calculation

Details: Accurate speed calculation is crucial for planning marches, estimating arrival times, and optimizing army movement in Rise of Kingdoms.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter base speed in units/h and buffs as a percentage. All values must be valid (base > 0, buffs ≥ 0).

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are typical base speed values?
A: Base speed varies by unit type, with scouts typically having the highest base speed and siege units the lowest.

Q2: How do I get speed buffs?
A: Speed buffs can be obtained from commander skills, technology research, alliance bonuses, and equipment.

Q3: Are there speed debuffs?
A: Yes, negative percentage values would represent debuffs that reduce movement speed.

Q4: Does terrain affect speed?
A: Yes, different terrains may have additional modifiers that affect movement speed beyond the calculated value.

Q5: How accurate is this calculation?
A: This provides the theoretical maximum speed; actual in-game speed may vary slightly due to rounding and other factors.
