Title: Adjustments to the View Army page


Summary: An extension/restatement of the discussion had on Discord the other day

Details: Remove "rank" column, move "siege engine" column to the end and make it narrower, replace "readiness" column with "equipment damage" column. Add "Average equipment damage" to the tally below the army tables.

Have generals able to see all of that info, minus "troop number", "CS", and "equipment damage".

Benefits: Replaces useless info by actually useful info, removes superfluous info, adds important info, helps the general do his job.


Possible Downsides/Exploits: I know the devs are reticent to add more info to the general to avoid micromanaging, but setting aside that this behavior is really moot in our current context, I don't think the additional info requested here will be sufficient to make him be able to substitute the marshal. It will help him decide what army to dispatch where, though, and what nobles to dispatch to what army.

Oh yea, also: Standing Orders for the military hierarchy. Call it "Standing Objectives" maybe, or something like that. Basically, a general's equivalent of standing orders, but that only displays to the general, the marshals, and the vice-marshals of the realm. Maybe the army sponsors too?

Possibly with an option to click to get "full details", which could then include rank, but also region and duchy of affiliation? Since some important mechanics are duchy-related, and armies tend to have geographic divisions.

Are you trying to squeeze in a second feature request with this one?  ;)

For the initial one, I think it just needs admin approval and for the rest should be fairly straightforward for any dev to implement.
