So, I played some Horse Lords recently, and I found that pillaging holdings you own had a lot of potential.
But for now, this is a pure insanity of micromanagement.

I do understand that destroying a holding to the ground should take some time, but there must be other ways than an arbitrary countdown and the arbitrary number of 4 buildings at a time.


Here are two suggestions that can exist together or not.

-When I'm choosing to initiate the pillaging a holding I own, why would I stop? When clicking the button in the menu, buildings should disappear progressively, your income increase, as well as your tech points until there is nothing left.

-There could be three checkboxes somewhere. One to auto-pillage every castle entering in your possession. The second one for cities and the third for temples.

What do you think?

Bonus suggestion:
-As there is now a dedicated menu when right-clicking on provinces, we could have an option to revoke every holding contain in one province, instead of selecting every baron-ranked character.
This last suggestion raises one question: Is it too easy to revoke as a nomad?

I took over most of India with my Nomad map and it's getting pretty frustrating to pause the game every 5 minutes to burn down holdings for 10 minutes. However Nomads needs to be balanced is a whole other discussion, but as far as pillaging goes, an auto-pillage button on the countries would be a heaven send for us.

If a nomadic army is on any province with Loot button ticked then they should continue looting and pillaging continuously until the button is unticked, they are moved out of the province, they are destroyed or they are disbanded. Problem solved.
