I have a question about the leaders and combining armies.
First, I wish I could say I like the interface, maybe I just don't fully understand it but, when I get several army (land) units ( or sea for that matter) and then wish to combine them into one unit, the method for doing it seems awkward and cumbersome. Why isn't there a simple 'combine all' way ? ( or is there that I'm somehow missing ?) [and]
How do I decide which leader of all the leaders that seem to sprout from somewhere should lead ? I get annoyed by using the 'reorganize' button function and get this new leader from somewhere when all I really wanted was just to combine the forces I have there. [or] Do I really need to be concerned at all about combining armies under one leader?
I understand that leaders have rank and so I assume that high ranking leaders fight better (duh!) but it seems that every leader I have even after fighting has occurred is always a 'colonel' ?
...and while I'm on a gripe rant - [let me add that this game is AWESOMELY AMAZING and courageously tackles a extremely broad and difficult gaming concept with incredible design and AI - I know the Board game came first (never played it) and provided a platform for development, but still WOW ! WHAT A GAME ! What a great development accomplishment!] ok now that you know I really really like the game I'll continue with one more little complaint/annoyance:
When I sometimes right click on a province to try to get the pop up window to place a trader or colonist ( or other options the window may offer) or maybe it's when I left click trying to select the province for information- I sometimes inadvertently give a change of movement orders to an army/naval group that I had last been dealing with and now have disrupted their progress to where I really intended them to go ! ( Arrrghh ! ) Is it just me being stupid ? ( please no posts saying I'm stupid - I already know that
) Wouldn't someway of maybe a confirmation window poping up saying something like 'Are you sure you whish to change units movement orders?' [or] maybe a clearer indication that I still have a unit selected and clicking somewhere will give contextual orders (?).
Sorry for the long post thank you for reading this far and indulging me : )
again ..Hats off to a great game !
