Feature request: Neutral lands and Threat of attack

[Captain Gars]

winter is a poor time to try to march and fight - but it was still done from time to time.

One shouldn't forget that there were also a number of benefits during winter. For one, roads tended to be in good condition as the cold made them hard - compared to the mud of spring and late autumn. And many rivers normally only fordable at a few strategic places could become generally passable. A wintercampaign would however need more preparations and adequate equipment (good clothes and shoes), but it could be still be quite advantages to not sit idle during the whole of winter.

Mister Gars,

What do you think of the proposal to have order take time to reach their target (and be implemented with the risk of interception). Messaged sent to other player should take time too along the same line. The correlative should be the ability to give the command of clan army to vassal so that they can react without delay. This would allow more multi-player interaction (because with only its retinue nos player will accept to be under another palyer rule).

I personally wouldn't mind such a system, but then the game really has to be built with that in mind, and I don't see Paradox changing the core mechanics of their games in such a direction.

Ah, there is a technical limitation?

Well you can't just tack on something like that as an afterthought. The units, interface, AI, etc all have to be able to deal with, not to mention you need to balance it so it not only works, but works in a way that is fun. It can be done, but I think it needs to be part of the design from the start.
