SPEED FOR MOUNTS.. encumbered questions ..help.

Note that the rate of travel is walking, which is basically your unmodified Move score. An undead army can hustle continuously (no fatige effects, no non-leathal damage; double move), 24/7; thus, an undead army is much more tactically manuverable than a normal human army - your basic human zombie can get 6*24 = 144 miles in a day with no penalties (as long as they have leaders that can keep up.....) while your basic human army takes penalties if they go more than 8 hours in a day at a walk (3 miles/hr) -> 24 miles. A forced march or some hustling can increase that somewhat, but not to the inhuman levels undead can sustain. Undead make great raiders and messengers in a war. A mean DM could maybe even be convinced that undead capable of running could run continuously, and thus double the 144 to 288 miles/day for skeletons, ghouls, ghasts, et cetera (but not zombies - the most they can manage is a hustle).
