This is an entirely personal opinion.

As far as I'm concerned the logistic become onerous as soon as I have capitol only troops which need to go somewhere further than I can move them in one turn. This likely happens before turn 25 in most games.

Yes yes, I can and do accept it, and deal with it, but meh, I'd just as soon not have to bother with the extra routine crap, since there's already enough of that in the game.

I also dislike not being able to set up a repeating forging order, and I dislike the way tactics are scripted, and units are generally moved around to commanders.

I get that the code base is apparently old and cranky, but I don't see that as an excuse.
