So you've decided to equip winged shoes (possibly flying carpet) and the army still can't move the 2 or 3 provinces needed?
-Are you sure the army can make the distance on their own with a move 2 commander with similar survival abilities?
-Are you sure the commander, with the additional flying ability, can still make the distance? The global spell "Perpetual Storm" limits the movement of fliers.

The commander's movement far exceeded the troops--it was a seraph. The problem was it was leading elephants through forest. Apparently the game negated it's flying since it had non-flying troops--but this meant it was limited to speed 1 through forest as it doesn't have forest survival.
If the army is required to maintain close contact for the entire march the behavior makes sense. It's just I don't really think the troops need that kind of babysitting. The seraph can't walk through the trees with the elephants fast enough but it can fly just above them and make it to the destination in time.
