Thanks for the reply on my pet peave . So, if I understand you correctly, there is no cure other than maybe killing off some 'old' family members. Perhaps a note to someone at CA?

In a discussion I read last year on the Total War site, I was also told that the artillery movement was hard coded...And I would love to get the siege equipmet to move at the same speed as my infantry - the idea that one unit moves slower than another on the campaign map seems quite silly as well. Because of this slowness I ofter leave my cannon behind, or they are only used when they are fortunate enough to be near my victims town/castle.

And although I have read that the movement is hard coded, I have seen mods where the movement of units on the map were accelerated.

But that is another element I have been unable to change ...fix.

So I think both of these issues should be addressed in Empire and will throw them in to that caldron of what-I'd-like-to-see's .

BTW: This reply got diverted to some 'new?' version of the guild .... And I just now got back to this page....some four or five hours later.
