Don't get me wrong I really like this game ALOT.

Though i think it would have been better from a pure gameplay standpoint to at least make the OPTION of choosing serial turn movement as opposed to simultaneous moves.

The simultaneuos move system, from what I understand, is mainly to accomadate faster gameplay in multiplayer. Every player can take their turn simultaneously as opposed to waiting for previous players to end their turn.

Insofar as realism is concerned I would think that armies perform recon and determine enemy movements and plan theirs accordingly. I disagree that armies somehow maintain a posistion, choose a destination, with no information except a "best guess" then march out, possibly missing opposing forces entirely.

Actually from a "realism" point of view, in a fantasy world, one would think divining spells would be specifically crafted to recon and spy on ones enemy, especially an offensive army in ones own territory.

This type of simultaneous move system requires the more tactical level of recon in order to be "realistically" modelled. That is why I would prefer serial turns as it is more accomadating in single player from a pure gameplay point of view.
