Title:Automatically follow move order option.
Description:Basically an option to allow players to place their nobles under a general's plan when they can't log in frequently.  Generals could then move the nobles with the option enabled.
Benefits:Even in my short playing experience, I can't tell you how many times I've missed a battle because IRL issues caused my noble to miss a turn.  I've also seen IRL issues cause people to miss battles and nearly quite in frustration.  This would allow people who can't be as active to experience the game.  Some people can only log in at night, or some in the morning.
Exploits:This is an idea would have to be fine tuned, as there could be a lot of exploits.  Mulit's obviously.  Perhaps a time limit, when the option would have to be renewed.  Moving a noble is all that a general should be able to do, the rest would have to be done manually.
Characters:Lain Frostwood, Ghostfire Frostwood, Talia(commoner)

Nope. Never.

This is BattleMaster, not StarCraft. If Generals want to move units around like game pieces, they can go play an RTS.

Inactivity is part of BattleMaster. If you cannot take it into account when making your plans, you will be defeated by Generals who can.
