Re: Higher province number moves first?
I thought armies moving was random, but doing some tests between LA argatha and LA Pythium: Pythium moved first _every time_ (I tried about 5 times).
With argatha, I was moving a single commander with boots of flying, and with Pythium I was moving mostly an army of Hydras. I didn't think to check province numbers while I was doing this, so I can't give information on that. The phenomenon could be a statistical anomaly, but there's only a .5^5 (~3% chance) of that assuming move order is actually random. for each move I was moving the argathan commander into a province pythium had just conquered, and pythium into one of argatha's provinces. (ie, into-enemy movement for both sides).
I definitely thing there is some arbitrary deterministic component to move. This is especially funny since a single commander with flying can't catch a slow moving army of Hydras...
