| Typically, units cannot enter a square that doesn't have enough free [[Size]] points for them. They can move diagonally around others, but this takes **1.5 Combat Speed points** instead of 1. Alternatively, a unit 3 Size points bigger than another unit in the square can displace them; this shoves the displaced unit into a random adjacent square, possibly the square the displacer came from, but this takes **2 Combat Speed points** instead of 1. Displacing an [[immobile]] "scenery prop", such as a ??Bush??, instantly flattens and destroys them. | Typically, units cannot enter a square that doesn't have enough free [[Size]] points for them.

| Displacing an enemy is only possible for [[Trample|Tramplers]], and all displacement done by a Trampler causes damage. Combat Speed does not affect the damage output, but it does affect the "damage-per-second"; units who use up all their Combat Speed can't move again until their next round comes up, after all. Trampling also caused the Tramplers a bit of a delay in Dominions 5, which was reduced by Combat Speed (their speed with moving) and **increased** by Size, but it's not clear if that still applies. | Displacing an enemy is only possible for [[Trample|Tramplers]], and all displacement done by a Trampler causes damage.

| [[Mounted]] units make use of their high Combat Speeds to make [[Charge Bonus|Charge Attacks]], getting a damage bonus that scales with that and their Size. | [[Mounted]] units make use of their high Combat Speeds to make [[Charge Bonus|Charge Attacks]], getting a damage bonus that scales with that and their Size. |
| {{:abilities:swiftness.png?nolink }} **[[Swiftness]]** is the most straightforward Combat Speed bonus, providing a multiplier. The [[Air]] [[Bless]] provides stackable chunks of 30%, while the spells and items provide 100%. | {{:abilities:swiftness.png?nolink }} **[[Swiftness]]** is the most straightforward Combat Speed bonus, providing a multiplier.

| | ===== Example Stats ===== |
| | |
| | Combat Speed is highly dependent on the Size of the unit and is somewhat impacted by their Armor. To be specific, a unit's **Encumbrance from Armor and Shields** is subtracted from their Combat Speed. |
| | |
| | ^ Example Unit ^ Their CS ^ |
| | | A ??Tree?? | 2 | |
| | | A crippled human | 2 | |
| | | A magically-enlarged ??Large Ant?? | 4 | |
| | | A ??Soulless?? (zombie) human | 6 | |
| | | A human in Full Plate Mail with no Shield | 7 | |
| | | A Size-2 goblin in heavy armor | 8 | |
| | | Most [[Caelum-ea|Caelians]] stuck walking around | 9 | |
| | | A ??Militia??-man with a Shield | 10 | |
| | | A bookish human | 10 | |
| | | A naked ??Longdead?? (skeleton) | 11 | |
| | | **A typical unarmored human soldier** | 12 | |
| | | Most [[Pretender God|Pretender]] Titan forms | 16 | |
| | | A ??Jotun Werewolf?? | 18 | |
| | | A ??Destrier?? (a Knight's horse) | 20 | |
| | | An underwater ??Merman?? soldier | 22 | |
| | | Most [[Pretender God|Pretender]] Monster forms w/o Wings | 22 | |
| | | A ??Wolf?? | 26 | |
| | | A Size-7 ??Air Elemental?? | 26 | |
| | | A ??Fay Horse?? | 30 | |
| | | A ??Vanadrott??'s steed after he casts ??Windrunner?? | 60 | |

| | |
| | Yes, **immobile units still have Combat Speed**. This is possibly a holdover from the games before Dominions 5; it isn't clear if it affects the random order of rounds. |
