This is not going to be an easy one to fix. It's not a "bug" per se, it's
more of a loophole in the basic command parser. In my limited understanding
of how this game is programmed, changing this would be complex and might
cause a huge ripple effect. It surely existed in G1, but since the movement
rules that caused its exploitation did not no one ever bothered. IMHO, this
one may not get fixed until a new Olympia version hits the streets (Scott
are you reading this?). Does that mean we all have to agree not to use it
and trust each other? Wow, I won't even go there.

Hmmm, OK. Are you then going to compensate the Horselords for when you
abused the riding bug? Are you going to kill all your nobles who used SFW
without fully studying it? Please post the reports when you do so we are
all conviinced of your veracity.

This is a new one to me.

This one was reported over a year ago. Again, this is not technically a
bug, but more of a rules loophole. Everything I said above applies here as
well.
