"if you don't see shared scout reports of the neighbouring regions when you log in, scout and share the reports" One presume the exact wording on the standing order itself should be a bit more IC than that...--Fodder 22:21, 5 February 2008 (CET)

It should be, but there is a limit to the number of characters you can use in a standing order, so space is at a premium (especially if you put preferred unit settings in there also). I find myself trying to squeeze as much info as I can to direct my realms army. A typical Standing Order in my realm ends up looking something like:

"Please Scout regions X and Y. Group 1, attack region Z. Group 2, misdirect toward region W. Line Settings: Infantry: Front; Aggressive; Box. Archer/M.I.: Middle; Defensive; Line. Calvary: Rearguard; Aggressive; Wedge."

Replace Group 1/2 and Region W/X/Y/Z with proper names and that's pretty much the limit one can fit into a standing order. I've come to use Standing Orders as sort of a concise version of the regular commands I've issued through the normal army channel during the turn (which might include specific orders for several task forces engaged in actions throughout the realm), so the other players don't have to go digging through lots of messages to find the one that tells them what I want from them.

Tom will probably say... don't give line settings.. and probably will also say. use 2 or more armies if you split them like that--Fodder 20:35, 6 February 2008 (CET)

Second-in-command: (nobody) and this poor guy don't have place in the militar hierarchy? he can really help marshall... Vecchioratto 22:31, 5 February 2008 (CET)
