Wagons are used to transport large loads of goods across land routes. There are three types of wagons:

      Type           Weight  Ride Capacity  Walk Capacity
      ----           ------  -------------  -------------
      [44] light       500       500           1000
      [45] heavy      1100       900           1800
      [46] war        1100       900	         1800

Wagons travel at riding pace until they exceed their ride capacity. Light and war wagons slow down to walking pace in mountains. All wagons slow to walking pace in swamps.

The three types of wagons have different build requirements:

      Type        Build Time      Wood   Riding Horses   Iron
      ----        ----------     ------  -------------  ------
      [44] light       7            5          2          0
      [45] heavy      10           10          4          1
      [46] war        14           10          4          1

In battle, the war wagon provides a +25 defense bonus for the up to 20 men, but only if the stack is not already inside a fortification.
