Logistics
	Basic Logistics: increases your hero's movement points over land by 5% 10% .
	Advanced Logistics: increases your hero's movement points over land by 10% 20% .
	Expert Logistics: increases your hero's movement points over land by 20% 30% .

Logistics is a multiplier on the base move points of a hero. It does not multiply bonuses from artifacts or Adventure Map locations. Specialty bonus depends on the secondary skill and is calculated by the formula: [Logistics Bonus] * [Hero level] * 1.05. That is 5% (relative, not absolute) to Logistics for the level, not 5% of the total MP.

Example: Hero with 11+ monster speed will have 2000 movement points. With expert logistics, hero will have 24002600 movement points. Level 20 Dessa/Kyrre/Gunnar will have 20%+(20%*0,05)*20=40%30%+(30%*0,05)*20=60% additional movement points, meaning 28003200.

Heroes with Logistics as a starting skill:

•   Pyre the Demoniac
•   Monere the Planeswalker
•   Miriam the Captain 

Heroes with Logistics as a specialty and a starting skill (5% bonus per level to the skill):

•   Kyrre the Ranger
•   Gunnar the Overlord
•   Dessa the Battle Mage

Artifacts with similar ablility:

• Boots of Speed: +400 +600%  land movement points
• Equestrian's Gloves: +200 +300%  land movement points

This table shows how many tiles in a straight line (not diagonal) a hero can move, depending on how much movement points it starts with and the cost of movement. For each amount, the movement is shown for basic move (without any movement skill), with Expert-level Logistics (which increases by the hero's movement points by 20%30%, so instead of having e.g. 1500 points, the hero will have 18001950 points), or Expert-level Pathfinding (which reduces the movement cost down by 75 points down to a minimum of 85100).

• Pathfinding is useless on roads. Obviously, it will not find better paths than the roads.
• Logistics is slightly better on easy terrains, slightly better on rough terrain, and especially good on roads.
• Pathfinding is better on rough and wasteland terrains, and markedly better on sand and swamp.

Logistics is an important secondary skill, as it allows a hero to move on an adventure map really fast. Slow troops won't be that big obstacle, and your army won't be restricted to fast units, since they are not always strong and resilient unlike slower ones (e.g. in Rampart, Dwarves and Dendroids are more durable than Elves and Pegasi, in terms of their level). For a supporting hero, Logistics is necessary, because it makes easier collecting units summoned from external dwellings, collecting resources (e.g from Windmills), and reaching keypoints of a map. Reaching further with hero chains, picking up more resources, revealing more fog of war, and taking more fights with your army(/ies) are all very valuable.

In vanilla Heroes of Might and Magic III, Logistics is preferable to Pathfinding on all but difficult terrain: Sand, Snow, and Swamp. The Horn of the Abyss changes, by nerfing Logistics and buffing Pathfinding, makes Pathfinding better starting with Rough and Wasteland terrains, though Logistics is still preferable on roads and easy terrains.
