At the beginning of each [[time|day]] a hero has certain amount of movement points, which are consumed as the hero moves on the map. Moving from one [[tile]] to another consumes movement points at different rate depending on [[terrain]], [[road]]s and direction of the movement. The hero cannot move any further, when he has no movement points or he has too few of them to move to the next square. | ||
Moving diagonally on the map consumes 1.41 (square root of 2) times the points compared to moving vertically or horizontally. Moving on [[swamp]], [[snow]], [[sand]] or [[rough]] terrains consumes hero's movement points more than other types of terrain. This is called [[terrain penalty]]. | Moving on the map from one square to another consumes hero's movement points.

The main difference between these two is, that flying creatures can fly over obstacles (e.g. [[wall]]s) while creatures moving on ground must go around them (if able). | ||

The main factor for movement affecting all heroes is the slowest creature in the army. Every hero has a daily base movement of 1900 points, which is reduced if the hero has a creature with speed lower than 9, and increased if it is higher but no more than up to 2000 points.

Every hero has a daily base movement of 1900 points, which is reduced if the hero has a creature with speed lower than 9, and increased if it is higher but no more than up to 2000 points. The effect of the slowest to the movement initial movement points creature can be seen in the table on the right. Artifacts increasing creatures' speed (like [[Necklace of Swiftness]]), the hero speciality of [[Sir Mullich]] and [[native terrain]] bonuses don't affect the base movement, but hero’s [[Hero_specialty#Creature_specialties|creature specialty]] does. | ||
Heroes with Logistics gain extra movement points on land, while heroes with Navigation gain extra movement points while in a boat. Heroes with Logistic or Navigation specialty further increases this bonus depending on their level. Stables gives +400 (+300{{-wh}}) movement points per day for a visiting hero for the rest of the week, while each Lighthouse the kingdom controls gives +500 movement points over water (in a boat) for all the kingdom's heroes. While visiting several Stables is not cumulative, owning several Lighthouses is. Both structures are also Castle specific buildings, but work in a similar way as the Adventure Map locations. | Heroes with Logistics gain extra movement points on land, while heroes with Navigation gain extra movement points while in a boat.

Base movement is a hero's number of movement points before any bonuses from secondary skills, artifacts, or adventure map locations are included. On water, base movement is always 1500. On land, it is determined by the slowest creature in a hero's army. Base movement is as low as 1500 when the slowest creature has a speed of 3, and as high as 2000 when it has a speed of 11 or more (see table). Base movement is calculated only at the beginning of each day. As a result, heroes cannot earn movement points during the day by transferring their slowest creatures, nor do they lose movement points when receiving even slower creatures. | Base movement is a hero's number of movement points before any bonuses from secondary skills, artifacts, or adventure map locations are included.

Two secondary skills, [[Logistics]] and [[Navigation]], increase a hero's movement. Basic Logistics increases base movement on land by 10% (5% in [[HotA]]), advanced Logistics adds 20% (10% in [[HotA]]), and expert Logistics 30% (20% in [[HotA]]). Basic Navigation increases base movement on water by 50%, advanced Navigation adds 100%, and expert Navigation 150%.
