General

[Zakilevo]

So I've been thinking... As a General, it might be nice to be able to check the marshal settings for each marshal. It would help a lot if some marshals have a wrong setting.

[Chenier]

Would indeed be nice to know what formations the marshals are using.

[Sacha]

You can find that out pretty easily through battle reports.

Which may be too late.

Wrong? The Marshal is the one that chooses the settings, not the General, so they can't be "wrong". If you want to choose the settings for the Marshal, kick them out and make yourself Marshal :)

If your Marshals don't follow your advice, find new ones. Or wonder why they don't respect you enough to listen to you :)

[Ramiel]

Have to agree with Sacha and Nathan. Too much info without play.

[Chenier]

If you have three armies converging together on a target, it's nice to know what formations they are using. Because formations are something that one can easily forget about.

Ask the other two marshals?

so send out a message reminding them.  different roles have different people for a reason.

And how would the general being able to check be a bad thing? How would it detract from the game?

In the same logic, one could have it so that nobody can see how many knights each region has, because hey, "just ask the lord".

I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but saying "to check if they have the wrong settings" is exactly what we want to avoid. Therefore, to avoid the General reprimanding Marshals for doing what they want, the General shouldn't be able to see the Marshal's settings.

If the marshals agree to a formation, but one of them forgets to actually set it, what's so bad about the general being able to remind him?

The general can, as it is, just as easily reprimand him after the facts. Reprimands are usually only given after the facts, anyways, as nobody cares until there's a battle where it would have mattered.

Instead of trying to avoid every possible little slip-up, just deal with them as they happen.

You mean accept that the other characters are human controlled and not drone AI that should follow my every command? NEVER
