good points .

the reason for this is though really good :
BALANCE .
otherwise SCS would be imbalanced probably

i myself have dominions now since 3 months and i have to admit that it took me until now to learn some things and i still learn things in dominions

in the first month e.g. i had no clue about scs .
and until about 1 week ago i underestimated battlemagic severe too
but i am continually advancing and already quite good now i think

my wording was perhaps a bit poor or i misunderstood something so sorry for this

Your wording is fine, and I understand your reasoning. You've basically said that there is a compelling reason for the system to be a bit unintuitive and goofy, which I can generally accept, so long as the reason outweighs the deviation from normal expectations. If there is no good way to balance the game without using the current morale and routing system, then it is a necessary evil.
