Switching items/gems between commanders

[Yrkoon]

Hi,

I usually use scouts to carry gems around for my mages and after each battles I need to refill the mages to make up for the used up gems "in the field" (as opposed to in a lab). So I click on a scout, click on the gems and a window opens up to trade the gems (same for items).

Now here is my problem. For some reason, the trade is always between the scout and the very first commander present in the province (imagine there are 10 commanders). So I need to trade the gems from the scout to the first commander, end the trade, and then click on the mage I really want to give the gems to, and trade between the mage and the first commander.

It's a pain. Escpecially when the first commander in the list of the province is ... a mercenary, who will happily take the gems from the scout but then no way to make the mercenary give the gems away.

Is there a way around that ?
