Dont get me wrong - I love this brave and beautiful game, but the rule about one command reserved for Hannibal is getting on my nerves.
What is the point?
Why should a command be wasted when Hannibal is busy with a siege?
Please, remove this strange and frustrating rule in the next update.
One command reserved for Hannibal - why?

The reason is that Hannibal generates his own extra Command Phase each turn by virtue of his initiative. So, really, you are getting a certain number of assignable Commands plus an extra one for Hannibal. And therefore one must be reserved for Hannibal since - in a sense - he creates the resources for it.
I can see that the rule as stated in the game seems arbitrary to you and possibly other players. So I will give some thought to changing the rule or explaining it better in the course of the game.
Thanks for the feedback!

That's not a bad suggestion, but I am concerned that it might confuse some players. I am leaning towards the elimination of the rule as the simplest solution. I'll have to think about this a bit. I don't think that any crucial aspect of game play is at stake. But I'll want to mull it over a little while.How about changing it so you reduce the commands by one, but say that Hannibal activates for free?
