Time and Distance
• The average horse, without being broken down or pushed too hard, can travel approximately 50 miles per day over flat terrain on a clear dry day; 10 – 20 miles per day in rough terrain and inclement weather.
• The average man, without pushing himself too hard, can travel approximately 20 miles per day over flat terrain on a clear day; 6 – 12 miles per day in rough terrain and inclement weather.
• The bigger the party, the slower the traveling. Carriages and carts are slower as well as the horse has more of a burden. Remember to adjust for different types of terrain as well; 5 – 15 miles per day in rough terrain and inclement weather.
• The average size ship in average conditions can travel approximately 65 - 85 miles per day. Adjust for ship size and rigging.
• Keep in mind that people only traveled during the day and set up camp at night (unless they are being chased or have to make it to destination X in a certain amount of time.
