Moving Through Multiple Provinces

By the time your empire is big enough for logistics to become onerous, it's probably better to build troops in "factories" on the back lines and Gateway/Stygian Paths/Forest Trod them to the front lines. (Or else just build troops in front-line castles.) If you have cap-only mages that you need to shuffle to the front lines, they are probably too scarce and valuable for you to let an AI handle their transit anyway.

This is an entirely personal opinion.

As far as I'm concerned the logistic become onerous as soon as I have capitol only troops which need to go somewhere further than I can move them in one turn. This likely happens before turn 25 in most games.

Yes yes, I can and do accept it, and deal with it, but meh, I'd just as soon not have to bother with the extra routine crap, since there's already enough of that in the game.

I also dislike not being able to set up a repeating forging order, and I dislike the way tactics are scripted, and units are generally moved around to commanders.

I get that the code base is apparently old and cranky, but I don't see that as an excuse.

That wasnt the excuse. The excuse was that it would be no fun. The devs only do it for fun and no one here is fixing that.

The reference to the code base being old and cranky was only an explanation vs any reference to the idea that it might be a quick and easy fix because its already been done and the code for it is readily available. Quick and easy changes we might be able to get. Fun additions we might be able to get (particularly if they are flavor vs coding). But since the devs have already moved on to another project then any heavy changes are unlikely and most efforts to motivate tend to be way off course (if not downright anti-motivating).

Why, yes. Yes it is.

Then you shouldn't have said 'your empire' should you?

Yeah Max what were you thinking! Using 'your' as a generic pronoun to express an opinion!

The cheek!

A generic pronoun is 'ones' or 'an' not necessarily your.

Would you accept a generic possessive pronoun then?

Mea culpa.
