I don't really see how copying and pasting information you uniquely receive is "playing" the game. If an entire position could be removed with a universally accessible region dashboard, I don't see the purpose of it.
Only the last letter was from reports he only receives, the rest everyone else could do themselves but he is actually doing as banker in a matter that integrates greatly into the game instead of giving gamey answers. Btw, whats the point of General? They only really get a report about the total CS of the armies which any lord gets anyways? Because of the command and authority they have despite not having many mechanics.
