[Discuss] Battle Organisation

[Tom Vogt]

On testing, there's been a new column in battle reports for a few days 
now: "Org"

What it means is "Organisation". This depends on several factors, the 
most important being army size (the more men you have, the harder it is 
to organize them) and whether there's a marshal (or second) issuing 
orders, since the army is _the_ organisational unit for the military. 
Army will make a huge difference.

Leadership skill and a few other factors will also change it.


Starting tomorrow or whenever I update the code next, this will have 
actual effects. Low organisation will mean that your disorganised army 
is scattered around randomly. Some units will start a row too much to 
the front or back, or wait longer than they should, or even fight in a 
different formation (though the chance for that is low as long as their 
commander has a bit of Leadership). Also, morale of the entire army will 
suffer a little.

In other words: Manual setting of row/style/formation by general 
commands will be less reliable and less effective than using the armies 
and marshals for, well for what they are there to do. You can yell 
"front/aggressive/line" as much as you want, if there's nobody there to 
organise the men on the eve of battle, there'll be chaos.
