All these are great ideas.... if you are actually fighting somebody. I am choosing to live peacefully. In fact, tonight I allied with another major faction and won the game. I was at peace with everybody else.

They are not doing much fighting. Do I have to always keep fighting to keep their morale up? Why? I am at peace with 85% of the regimes on the map. I am going for a win by ...

I have 8 x Pillage strategems. I don't understand why these exist. Why would I ever do that to my own people? I have 6 x Expel Population. Why would I ever want to use that strategem?

Overall my military units have low morale, I have increased their pay but that hasn't done enough to raise the overall moral level of my troops.

<t> I find myself with a cluster bomb of unassigned priests. It is just too much work in the current interface to easily assign a priest to a unit that could use one. I know many will micromanage and hand-place each and every priest. But for those of us who would rather do more exciting things ...

I just looked in my capital hex and it said 53% Infantry and 100% Logistics. So I clicked the reform button. The unit was reform, but with 100% of its TOE. So why did it say 53%?

What did the tool tip say about logistics, in your example above it is 4 percent. Haven't lost any units recently but in an early 1.03 game I replaced lost units no problem. Just don't remember where or how. Your SHQ can be OUT of logistics ...

You must build the troops in the shq it needs I believe and have enough logistics to move them to the new unit pick a spot closer to your city or rail net and see if logistics changes.

<t> The game says...<br/>
<br/>
5th Motorized assault Infantry Corps is missing the following sub-units:<br/>
<br/>
Motorized Assault Infantry Regiment 32% Items 100% Logistics<br/>
<br/>
The Reform button is grayed out.<br/>
<br/>
What does that mean? I am short 32% or I have 32%? What do I ...

<t> After applying this to my current game, the changing of OOB doesn't work. I had an assault army that contained light tanks and trucks. I could leave the trucks behind via an OOB change, but not the tanks. So, I would have had to do a manual split. Again, doable, but if this is going to be ...

You are probably correct...<br/>

But this is far in the future with open warfare on all borders. These troops aren't rockin Posse Comitatus. These troops aren't performing parallel emergency disaster relief missions ...

I'm with damiare on this one.

Thanks so much. That is really going to change the way I play this game.

<r> I am looking at the Report | Overviews | Formation Types Overview | and clicked on an OOB. It presents a modal dialog with the TOE of the OOB I clicked on. At the top it says<br/>
<br/>
Operational HA - Corps sized - Regiment frontline units - <B><s>[b]</s>2 aux units allowed<e>[/b]</e></B ...

Even easier than a split--just change the OOB back to light infantry. ... You can then reapply original motor/mech OOB, and get the equipment back from the SHQ ...<br/>

<br/>
That hadn't even crossed my mind ...

Yes, but it is something that is best automated. IOW, the game should have it "built in" to make it easy.

The job of a great UI is to make it easy to carry out your plans.

Imagine the unit crosses the mountains, arrives in the plains on the other side of the range, and then re-enables its vehicles. That seems like an exploit. Many such conditions with the change.<br/>

<t> For example, it is time for me to give my speech. And one of the options is to declare that I will conquer city "somethingoranother". Well, I don't know where that city is on the map. I can to click on it, have the hex center on the map in the left half of my screen, so it is not hidden under ...

<t> I would like to option to allow my motorized infantry to leave their trucks behind so they can move into hills/mountains to pursue the enemy. I would like dismount/mount buttons to separate my infantry from their transport. The (welcome) side-effect of this is that when dismounted, the ...
