Improvement suggestions

#2 and #6 can be done in mods on a fairly straightforward basis already.  The others are more programming issues, and I really don't know what may or may not happen there.

You can't really do #2 directly, but you can more or less simulate it by using the weather system.  You would set up the battle's PDT file to progressively lower visibility as the day goes on.  Now, that approach is not perfectly accurate, because you're "guessing" at the intensity of combat as you program that in, and if the battle takes an hour longer to get going than you expect,  you'll have the lowered vis "too soon."  Also, there's no way to do localized clouds of smoke, and I would highly doubt that is coming down the line.

#6? Again, you can define stacking in the pdt file, and go from there. You can't really cap road usage (so it's entirely possible to have 5 battalions use the same 100m of roads in a single 10 minute turn...) but you can lower troop density if you want.

Hi and many thanks for this! Interesting idea to edit the PDT file. I will definitely check that out. Again, thanks for the info, and best wishes.
