It is definitely NOT a bug, nor is there any reason to suspect that it is.
Does it render turrets useless? Not at all.
I have mentioned this in many posts in the past, but I truly believe that a general who relies on his wall for defense is doomed for defeat.
Consider this. An enemy may not attack target a turret if there is a troop within it's range. No matter your enemies speed, they can't attack turrets if you meatshield your turrets. Or if you field an army to defend, for that matter.
Consider this, as well. An enemy who possesses speed with which he may safely destroy turrets without losses puts themselves at a serious disadvantage for most situations, in terms of battlefield initiative (speed).
That is, unless their speed is still greater than their targets speed. Either way, it is just another strategy for you to deal with.
This is the problem....I'd say, in my experience, that 98% of all haypi generals consider max speed to be a necessity. This is actually not the case. The reason we all have the option to rearrange our attributes and equip different levels of equipment is to supply different strategies for us to attack and defend with. The general who locks themselves in the box that is thinking they have the perfect strategy, is the general who is doomed to be defeated. There are always ways to defeat someone, no matter their level, troop count or equipment enhancements, etc. To think that max speed is the end all of this game, would mean that everyone comes to an end to the road....a la alliance wars relying so heavily on cats (or so it seems 
).The thing is, there are sooooo many unexplored strategies, even to this day, if you just think outside the box. Hehehe one of my favorites is that people devalue infantry so much. Guess what? With my max speed enhancements, my infantry are JUST AS POWERFUL AS CAV WITH NO ENHANCEMENTS ON THEIR EQUIPMENT. That's right. They're just as strong and just as fast, anyone who disputes this is welcome to take on 150k of my inf any day of the week.
Tactics are really what sets the fine general apart from the poor general. There are those that take everything at face value, and follow others' ideas, and there are those who think outside the box, and develop strategies like the turret speed tactic. Which type of general are you?
