Has anyone mentioned the most annoying tendency of allied militia to
thwart you in simple agent actions, even if the action is directed at
an enemy?
Can something be done about that?
RD: Yes it has been discussed in the past. I complained bitterly about this when the Noldo agents, sent to relieve the Northman capital from DS agent siege, were largely frustrated by the Nor militia. And the Nor and Nol were friendly to each other! Duh!
Some people said that when you send special forces in to do a job, you don't tell the local plod. I still think it stinks. If you know special forces are on their way, you DO tell the local plod, even if it's only to stay out of the way.
Also, and i think these have been mentioned in the past;
[1] Why can`t you MovJoin a company?
[2] Wouldn`t it be good to have allied troops/characters transferable
between armies?
David Murray
RD: I agree with 1) but I have reservations about 2). Troops might resent being transferred to the commander of a different nation, especially if they were different race. Can you imagine even "friendly" elves taking orders from dwarves? I can't!
You can combine men, elves, dwarves and hobbits in a company under the command of a man, but this is a special case for a common cause. I don't think it would go down too well to put a foreign commander, say, in the Noldo capital!
OTOH I see no reason why, if nations are friendly to each other, mages should not be able to prentice and research spells in a friend's pop centre.
