Wish List: Routing

[merlinme]

Yes, a very nice feature. Anything which reduces micro management is a good thing, in my opinion. However it would require building some route finding into the program (taking into account the speed of the army, any difficult terrain, whether the army has flying or sailing, etc.)

Also the programmers have to decide what should happen if the route gets blocked for some reason (i.e. a province changes hands). Personally I'd be happiest for the unit to stop moving and tell you why, rather than attempting to find another route, let alone launching an attack!

Conversely a much quicker route may open up if you capture a province, but in that case I think it's up to the player to realise and change the moving unit's orders.

Maybe we'll get something for Dominions 4...
