    General attacks the wrong camp.

    I sent the general to attack one camp, and it headed for a different camp instead. This has happened a couple of times. The second time I was able to stop it by clicking the retreat flag, but the game should keep track of where the general is instructed to go.

    This is not a bug; This is an intended action. When you click on a enemy camp there is a red zone displayed. It states in the description that an attacking army enters this area that they have fight the camp. So if you are trying to attack another camp you have to check to see if the path crosses the border of another camp before attacking. Otherwise your general is forced to fight a camp other than the one you want.

    I should be able to correct the path the general is taking to avoid a MED target, when I am trying to attack a easy target. Because now I have to go after the much harder target.

    You can. You take a look at the pathing of your general, if it goes through a different camp you don't want to attack, you move your garrison somewhere else so that the pathing doesn't take you through the camp you don't want to fight. Not that hard.
    When life gives you lemons? Don't make lemonade! Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your **** lemons! What am I supposed to do with these!
    On hiatus from the game currently.

    Exactly right, takes a bit more time but it is well worth it.

    I only have 1 garrison and there doesn't seem to be a way to move it to a different spot. You can't destroy your garrison and move it to a different spot because when you only have 1 it doesn't give you the option. This needs to be corrected. They should give you the option to plot the path of your army or make enemy armies be unable to attack across the boarders.

    I have found it easy to move my garrisons. On the left side of my garrison screen, there are three icons: the "attack" icon, below it a horn icon, and then below that the "retreat" icon. I just click on the horn icon, and then go to where I want my garrison to move and click there. The old garrison starts tearing down, and the general rides to the new location. When he gets there, the garrison rebuilds at the new location. I don't know if this will help, CaptainKirk1701, but I surely hope it does. If your garrison screen doesn't have the horn icon, then there's definitely something not right.
