[Discuss] "last seen" troopleader list feature removed?

[Loren Schmidt]

[The judge of a realm I'm in expressed similar feeling when she found 
out. Tom doesn't want people to be punished for inactivity so he takes 
away the best tool judges had for seeing if someone is inactive? I fail 
to see the logic.]

The logic is this.  You're punishing people for 'refusing' to follow 
orders, not disobeying them.  He made it quite explicit.  For instance, 
lets say I'm in the capital chilling, training my troops.  I'm ordered to 
take my men and go fight some battle.  I'd much prefer to train my men, or 
my personal favorite is when I'm ordered to recruit and I'll just sit 
there and say I don't have golds.  It's also a pretty tall assumption that 
someone reads all of their letters.  I read maybe half, and normally only 
personally addressed letters.  I occasionally even skip orders b/c I know 
I'd be left out in the middle of no-where if I'm not logging in for a few 
turns afterwards.  In essence, people are fining too much.

Everyone forgets that these are nobles, not soldiers.  They are in command 
of their units, not the general.  Think Braveheart when the nobles ride 
from the field, rather than fight with Wallace.
