movement bug

I'd like to complain about the fact the movement bug for riding
stacks has not been fixed.

As most people will know Sir Codric invaded the Kingdom of Eastern
Harn this turn destroying 4 garrisons.

He did this with two nobles and a stack of THREE HUNDRED TROOPS. They
covered six provinces including one mountain province and executed
four attacks.

If the rules had been applied as they are written he should have been
adding FIFTEEN extra days per province moved.

If things were working as they should he would have moved one
province and be part way into the next. And not even over our border.
It would have taken him four turns to accomplish what he just did. To
put it another way, to achieve the same result using more nobles he
would need another TWENTY EIGHT nobles.

I am not just being a sore loser (I'm actually looking forward to the
coming battles) but this is a MAJOR bug that is skewing the game
system drastically. Attacks like this were not meant to be able to be
mounted with out many more nobles involved. Dragons aren't the most
valuable weapon in g2, horses are. (And of course any beasts that
move at riding speed)

Yours in frustration (but otherwise having a great time in Olympia)
