auto unit building?

I also usually have untidy units, you know what I mean. I especially hate it when it auto-merges two siege crews and scrap one perfectly working cannon. When I have absolutely no siege engines, then the option is on. I find it too work-like to manually merge elite units to assemble one or two really nice regiments. Murphys law ensures that unit is the target of mayheim in the next battle anyways.

It's been my experience that auto-tidy will screw you over when it comes to upgraded units. Maybe it's just me, but it always seems to merge armoured units into unarmoured ones and such. So I leave it off. I like to micromanage anyway, I'd prefer to write up the reassignment papers for each individual soldier if I could.

Drop me in the "micro-managers basket" and call me obsessive, but I prefer not to leave anything in the hands of the AI other than the AI factions...

It might be a character flaw, but I actually enjoy raising and lowering taxes....and I like the fact that a wrong decision (in terms of how far I push the local populace) can result in rebellion against the tyrant....oh dear, that would be me...

As for merging units, well sometimes I will do this if the enemy are likely to be attacking a province held by a battle weary army, but generally I prefer to re-train and re-equip units without merging, on the theory that 2 really good experienced units are better than one great unit....
