Default Re: Automation vs Micromanagement

Play by EMAIL? Christ. No wonder you people are so anti-automation; you've got DAYS per turn.

My point remains: most people don't. Implementing auto-scouting, or auto-siting, or auto-tax or auto-preach or whatever doesn't change the nature of the game, or the decisions anyone makes. It just reduces paperwork. How is that bad? Explain it to me.

There isn't any production redirection, but gems get moved automatically. This is inconsistent. I appreciate that moving production is far more valuable, so put a logical time delay on it, based on distance. *I* don't want to have to supervise every aspect of my huge empire - as I pointed out, you're supposed to be a GOD. At the top, issuing orders to OTHERS. So pillory me because I've never finished a game of Rome:Total War; maintaining a ridiculous level of management on a huge empire kills the fun long before you've killed everyone else.
