How not to lose Explorer to attrition?

[yls3431]

As you know if a navy sinks due to attrition assigned explorer/admiral dies with it too.But this is no more.

Before 1.8 you need to dock your navy and then deassign your explorer. Now you can change explorer assignment regardless of former navy being at port or not.

So all you need to do now to utilize your explorer is reassign him to another navy which is at port just before the former one is about to sink. Although you need to have spare ships to do this but when money was ever problem compared to monarch points?

Great. I 100% agree with this point, especially considering the fact that army leaders loaded on sinking ships do not die.

I wonder why didn't Gustavus Adolphus teleport to safety in the Battle of Lützen...

Is there a pop up message setting somewhere for your ships having a certain amount of attrition, say 80% for example?

Oh cool, I was still doing the "send a fresh ship to meet him halfway" trick.

Yeah, the game probably needs a leader travel time system.

Yep but Leader cap must be incresead too.

I suggest that leader cap to be proportionate to ones army size/traditions. Current situation is too artificial.

And Explorers/Conquistadors should be rolled with -1 Shock, -1 Fire, +1 Maneuver, but that's another story.
