The real problem is that you can never catch enemy raiders unless you bet on the province where the enemy will go (and this is damn difficult with Caelum ...) and send in troops.
Considering other raiders like Thuata and Vanheim sneaks in shadows too probably you can't catch them properly.

So how to defend except mad castling? Trapeze or teleport an SC there? But if you haven't an A2 or S3 SC ... ?
If they sneak I dunno if your guys teleporting in will catch them.

So on I'd like to see troops having some chances to move into before the enemy can move. And I'd use the Leadership rating to choose who move first, the higher the first you'll move (leadership could be seen too as how a commander could organize troops, lead them in forced marches and such).
This could be a boost too for items not so used like Crown of Command and such, that are usually never used.
