I agree with Kev, especially with his preface and with point (1): such current sort of, say, "oob" is actually unuseful for player, either for organizational purposes, either to have a glimpse of an army in a whole and its Chain of Command. Point (2) is not important, in my opinion, because, with this kind of game engine, SP are MORE important than strenght in men!
As further improvements and corrections I'd suggest:
(3) in battle engine, more control of "frontage" by player: it often happens that entire divisions result totally destroyed, while other end a combat with no losses; since sometimes the first ones are the weakest and the second are the strongest, this is not realistic; it happens also with Guard or elite units;
(4) a revised system of saving files: most of times, i'm not able to reload correctly a previous turn, because some kinda automatic saving has overrided my previously saved orders; this way, i'm forced to save with a different file name EVERY time I save some important order;
(5) i'd like a clearer explication of battle result calculation: if still published somewhere, please give me the link; in other words: how much every factor has its influence over a final result; since the same battle, repeated several times, gave me DRAMATICALLY different results, i guess that a "dice" factor was playing too heavy in them;
(6) little correction: in Italy, near Venice, you'd write "Treviso" (or "Trevise", french style), not "Trevisa";
(7) in many scenarios, militia reinforcement is unuseful for french side, since its ranks contain no militia units;
finally, I agree with Kev about adding a diplomatic engine.
Wonderful game, anyway. Thanks guys.
