Yeah, and I blame THAT on the inability of most BM players over the many years to understand the difference between a General and a Marshal. General should be able to be busy RL, because he only has to give out a sense of what he wants accomplished.
It's interesting to watch - Kurlock is running things exactly how I've always argued they should be in the game (small armies, General giving out goals), but no one understands how exactly they do that because they aren't used to playing that way. It requires communication and very active Marshals and Vice Marshals.
Coming together finally, though.
We will have to do this the hard way. We will lose a bit and bleed quite a bit but I am sure people will eventually get used to the idea.
I think I am learning few things from the whole multi army plan.
1) Many people are used to leading at least 10k CS. Something sizable not as fragmented as what they have in Sandalak.
2) You can't just give them a vague goal to people and hope them to organize a plan cause people just can't do it. So the general has to be a bit more detailed still. Maybe in a form of suggestion. Still goals should be clear and you need to make sure what you want people to do.
3) People are too used to following orders from generals. Well to be honest, most realms rely too much on their generals to do everything. People just don't know how to split the work. Though people have some general understandnig of what general and marshal should be like they don't quite able to produce what they think in their heads.
4) There are some eager marshals but they want bigger armies not something they can't do anything with cause they don't really know how to communicate with another marshal to combine their forces in one area.
