I don't know when they added it (I didn't play much from when Art of War came out till now) but the ability to click on an army stack, click on an overseas province and then have game automate sending ships over to transport troops, as well as divide army stack into smaller transportable groups is awesome.

How do you divide armies into smaller transportable groups...or does it do it automatically also?

Yes it does, and merges them back together at the destination.

Damn...never knew that. Was manually doing it myself before auto-transporting. :lmfao:

It adds absolutely nothing and nobody cares. I will be deleting these posts from now on and infracting repeat offenders.

A rather pedantic one.
Not sure what the problem is.  If you're going with the choice of having a moderated forum, moderating "quality of life" issues like that is a pretty good use of your moderator powers.  Internet posters as a rule vastly overestimate the amount of play some joke or meme has, and need an outside intervention to cut the crap.

Way to add to the conversation, guys. No wonder we score so low on QoL. :(

A few things I find are beyond comprehension. For instance I'm Britain. One of my colonies, New Colombia or something, DOWs a Spanish colony. Now Spain enters the war, dragging me in. Fine. But then all of Spain's allies also join, but I can't call mine in. Why not? So now it's me and my colonies against Spain, France and Holland. A disaster waiting to happen, especially since the AI is a stickler about accepting peace offers.

Further, what gets me is the speed with which the AI moves its troops. So I have 30K troops in South England about to invade Normany. As they are undocking, through satellite recon, the French troops in Holland are alerted to my invasion force and before my fellows can land in Normandie, teh French have moved 50K units from Holland to Normandie. They get there first!

Speaking of French, so since I lack satellite recon, I miss the fact that the French send 25 K units into Northern Ireland. Fine. I still have some 30K units in England that I immediately dispatch to fight the French. But of course, I lose, since I don't think I've actually won a land battle since EU2 V1.05.  NO problem, though. I did whittle the invasion force to half strength. I should be able to recover and rebuild and fight again. Accept of course the French regain full strength before me...this despite being in hostile territory AND sieging  a castle. :glare:

Before I can say "pardon", the French 25 K army has now occupied six British provinces....and remains at full strength

Don't mind me I'm just venting.  ;)

And can someone explain relative power to me, in calculating liberty desire?
