Indeed, I seem to remember a few comments by devs on this early on. There are also leftovers from carts on the battlefield. Could they have been a sort of baggagetrain?
Well there was the same thing in MTW where it was found that the game had been intended to have that and you could capture the baggagetrain and gain money directly from your enemy (from his coffers to yours). But it never made it, perhaps because there weren't really lines of communication.
