[Beta 1.3.0] UX problems: Sim speed reset & auto-navigation when vassals create army

[Tintenkobold]

I have 2 things which I'd like to see changed:

1) If you navigate on the map on sim speed 2, after a click, it resets to 1.

This already worked the other way round (you keep your last speed after clicking). I have no glue why this has been patched out again. It's nerv wrecking and my "3" key has a hard time again.

2) If a vassal forms an army and "invites" you (game does not indicate this his happening), your party automatically moves to the location of the vassal

This is simply bad game design. Show the player what's happening and let him decide if he want's to navigate to that location. If you force players to quit all plans and auto-move to a location the player can run into enemies or loose track of someone he chased down. That has frustration potential and should be fixed.

Use double click instead of a single one and give your "3" button a little break

This is unnerving AF. Not once I've been chasing some supersonic speed Lord or caravan or a group of looters and when I nearly got them cornered and caught - my char turns around and starts going towards recently create army's direction. And I was like "RrrrrrAaaAAAAaaaRGH!!!!111".

Just started a new game, after a pause of the last 1-2 weeks with some fresh mods that make the game somewhat enjoyable and now i hear this...
WTF...who designed that **** and thought it would make for a good mechanic. Is that a bug or working as intended?

It was removed by a patch, now it is in again. Maye just an accident, we'll see.

I have something to add to this point:
2) If a vassal forms an army and "invites" you (game does not indicate this his happening), your party automatically moves to the location of the vassal

This happens even if you are waiting in a settlement, without telling you. It will show as if you are still in the settlement. You can even back out of the waiting screen and visit the shops or manage your town. But then when you leave the settlement, you will warp to where you have been actually moving towards the army.
