From Travian v2 Wiki (S2-S6), the encyclopedia anybody can edit

Unit speed determines the rate at which an individual or a group of units move. Travian has a map system as in the real world. Speed is measured in fields/hour. The speed of legionnaires are 6f/hour... i.e. they will move 6 fields every hour.

Imagine that you can walk to your friends house 3 blocks away and that you can walk at a speed of 6 blocks an hour, how much time will it take? The answer is half an hour. If you don't understand basic mathematics of distance and time, the following is the formula... distance/speed (hours) = 3/6 = 1/2 hours (half an hour)

Different units move at different speed. Merchants, specially Roman's, are the fastest at 12f/hour, 16f/hour incase of Romans. Troop units also have their own speed... Legionnaire: 6f/hr, Praetorian: 5f/hr, Equites imperatoris: 14f/hr, and Equites legati: 16f/hr. However, when the army marches together, the faster units cannot leave the slower ones behind, hence they march at the speed of the slowest unit. A group with all the above types of troops will thus march at the speed of 5f/hr, the speed of the Praetorians.

The distance between two fields is not mentioned as a feature in Travian, although the time it would take for an action is. In order to calculate distance one needs to understand the Pythagorean theorem.

If you have MS Excel, you can do the following to calculate the distance and speed...
Distance:
~ In cell 'A1', paste the following formula:
=SQRT(((A2-A3) ^2)+((B2-B3)^2))
~ Enter the X & Y co-ordinates for your village in cell A2 & B2, respectively.
~ Enter the X & Y co-ordinates for the target village of field in cell A3 & B3, respectively.

Your result should come in cell A1

Speed:
Choose a cell; I have chosen 'B1', to enter the speed of the slowest unit and paste the following formula in another cell; I have chosen 'C1'.
=((60/B1)*A1)/60

The shown value is in hours.
