Sorry to bother everybody, but I'm designing a hex map, and am having a hard time with what I think is either a rule contradiction or more likely me misinterpreting them.
I'm assuming my PCs will have horses and at least one will be small and thus mounted on a pony or a riding dog. This means the slowest party member will have a speed of 40ft, which will likely be reduced to 30ft by a load. That's 30ft which means according to Ultimate Campaign traveling through one hex takes 8 hours, which is a full days worth of movement through any terrain besides plains.
The thing is that the core rulebook says a pony with a load can go a total of 24 miles in a day, and another thread I found has calculated the flat distance across each ultimate campaign hex to be 10.4 miles or 10 rounded down. By that logic a full 8 hours or riding would mean two hexes per day.
I know Ultimate Campaign stated the travel distance would have slight discrepancies with the core but this seems like a big one. Am I missing something? Sorry in advance if the answer's glaringly obvious.
