Courier swarm. Broken/ill conceived?

Hi
Is there anything that can be done to stop the hordes of couriers swarming around. I played a battle and honestly, it was like the ride of the Rohirim. The hill side had 100's of couriers going to the same area. It is worse if it is an artillery battery commander which is killed. Then the ai send 5,6 + times the number of couriers.
This is a problem. Please tell me there is a fix.
Regards

Ha, you found Orders by Courier, Brigade level...Maddening, isn't it :woohoo:
A feature providing for ultimate immersion among the 'courier play' purest.

Hi RB
So we have to put up with 100's of couriers?

Only if you insist on that Custom Difficulty setting.

This isn't a subject to treat lightly. Courier play is a designed game feature, the issue is it comes with some ridiculous side effects.
A community member is asking for this to be addressed.
Don't see the joke myself.

Change the difficulty setting
So Brigade level with courier is broken?
This is the way I would like to play. If it is broken and cannot be fixed then the option should be removed.

This was tested and passed as is - Every command waits for a courier, down to individual wheel clicks. For my personal tastes I could see it as "ill conceived", but I don't think it's broken.
Try a level up, couriers by division, see if that fits your needs.

Will that give the order delay for the brigades?

Yes, the delay is the same, just much less couriers flying about...
I'm getting out of my safe zone, I'll cede to others concerning this topic.
