I'm for 72 hours too - i'm about to need a lot of time for the turns now that almopst everyone and their dogs gave me NAP termination notices

k. Been set to 72 hours.

Its kind of funny. Ermor and myself have 2 little enclaves inside the C'tis bubble. It looks like we are about to do battle for control of the enclave.

It's race for me to destroy you before Ctis destroys me in kind. This assumes he isn't destroyed by everyone else before he can finish the job, which might be difficult when he faces The Big Cat, who is one very tough kitty.

Bummer. I thought my Pretender would join the battle. Instead he went inside the castle. What gives!!

You've got the inside track now to knock me out.

Good fight you brought!

Don't underestimate my ability to steal defeat from the jaws of victory.

Default action is defend. If you click on another province with him selected, or remove magic items, he'll revert to defend. I suspect there are other similar ways to lose orders. I've lost move orders that way a few times this game but without significant consequence to date.

There's only two of us delivering NAP termination notices. It's our armies that seem endless, but they only fight.

Default action on moving to a fort is defend, and I hate, hate, hate, that default. How often are you going to want to run inside a fort anyway? You can always help break siege from outside. The only time is when you've lost a war and are planning for an extended siege. That's rare enough I think it should take deliberation. Plus, most of the time a mistake that way just means an earlier loss. OTOH, a defend when you want a move-and-patrol frequently converts an ongoing game into a loss.

It's just intuitive that when you expect a fort to be attacked, moving in will help stop the attack. I've lost many battles in SP because I've forgotten to set "move and patrol". I'd be frustrated beyond words if I'd lost a critical MP battle because of it.

I'm just glad you guys are making these mistakes so I won't have to.

(although I probably will, anyway)
