Hey, guess I could share this with the rest of the community too and not just my alliance 
Travel speed formula : x/y * 100 = t, t = time in minutes, x = traveled distance in miles, y = speed of the soldier
Example 1. Halberdier (speed 19), distance 10 miles: 10/19 * 100 = 52 min
Horses:
Speed of the horses increase every 10 miles by the given number. For example lvl 1 stables with coins increase the speed by 6%/10 miles = 0,6%/1 mile.
Example 2. Distance to target 37 miles, the slowest moving object determines your speed. If it was ladders in this attack: 1) 3,7*6 = 22,2%
Speed of your ladders would be 2) 15*1,222 = 18,3
Travel time with horses: 3) 37/18,3 * 100 = 202 min = 3h 22 min
Travel time without horses: 37/15 * 100 = 246 min = 4h 6 min
lvl 3 stables with coins? 37/(15*(1+ 3,7*13/100)) * 100 = 166 min = 2h 46 min
Example 3. 300 miles with wolves (speed 50)?
without horses: 300/50*100 = 600 mins = 10h
lvl 1 stables with coins: 300/(50*(1+30*6/100)) * 100 = 214 min = 3h 34 min
lvl 3 stables with coins: 300/(50*(1+30*13/100)) * 100 = 122 = 2h 2 min
(I used a shortcut formula on example 3. You dont have to do it like that. You can just follow the formula 1) then do 2) and then 3) to know your travel time)
Edit. You add support speed and commander speed before horses:
Example 4. Veteran spearmen (speed 26 before upgrade), +290% support speed from alliance, +50% speed from commander
26* (1+2,9+0,5) = 114,4 speed
Hope it helps

Very interesting, but if I was sending support to a fellow alliance member I would select my fastest commander, put in 1 of each type of troop I want to send and check the travel time to see if it is quick enough. Saves those valuable few minutes or even seconds when sending support.

the max travel speed on commander is 80% and 600 minutes is 10 hours! not 6 hours!

I didnt talk about the max travel speed commander can have on this post. 600 minutes indeed is 10 hours! Brain fart fixed.

newbee here: Selecting travel speed- does the protection percentage apply to attacking army or just travel speed ?
