If you look at the list of your nobles at the top of your report it shows
loyalty as c-500 or f-90 or o-2, etc. and you normally lose 50 off contract,
1-2 off fear or none off oath loyalty. The curse is an additional loss to
this loyalty (and only applies to contract and fear nobles.)

some units have a reduced combat value if the fight is in a swamp.
Hard to charge with lances set if your horses are up to their fetlocks
(or withers or whatever part of a stupid, smelly horse's anatomy is
appropriate) in mud.

no it doesn't (miswording is a carryover from g1 rules)

n/a

Not really. The only conditional statement is WAIT and
doing things at the end of a turn allows you to manually
stop and issue a new order. Sometimes you can create
clever workarounds with multiple nobles. Rich once said
he didn't want to turn the Olympia command parser into a
programming language so there's no IF command.
