Putting an Admiral on a different ship

[Mailman653]

Too bad you can't just drag and drop him into another ship in the UI.

Yeah, drag and drop was what I was trying ... silly me. At least, apparently, we can destroy the ship -- and the admiral really remains? Is he put automatically onto the most advanced ship remaining in the fleet? Adventures in intuition! I guess it's not terrible if I can just sink a sixth-rate to put the admiral on a third-rate: I still can't believe that that really works, lol. That must mean someone at CA *actively designed* it that way, actually sat down and programmed this as the best possible solution, which is really funny. I'd love to see the decision making flow-chart behind this.

The admiral does move from ship to ship if his ship is just scuppered, when I destroyed Ottoman starting fleet you can only imagine how confused I was when I sank the ship, 1 ship disappeared but the admirals face stayed...

I actually thought I could do this in version 1.0 when i first got and tried playing the game, I seem to remember being able to do something like that, but in 1.2 and 1.3 I couldn't, now I'm not entirely sure if I was ever actually able to, things are a bit blurry for me
