I might start fiddling with it tonight. It has interesting potential in theory but I dont know how it actually works yet, hence my thread question. Cool if you wanted to "play" as the Ultimate general in charge of your army but let your division commanders (AI) carry out your orders. Not sure that's even how it works but I guess i'll find out.
Was my favorite part of scourge of war, that you could sort of play under that view. That you had to issue orders by courier and could do a command by saddle view and really grasp the how you DONT have a grand view of the battlefield and might have very little info beyond who you are engaged with in front of you.
