I don't understand this point. The game as it stands supports multiplayer
tactical, two players at a time. One is the computer, the other a human.
When there is contention for the same province between more than 2 parties,
initiative resolves who gets to attack and the loser of that decision is
"pre-empted". All they had to do was allow the computer player to be played
by another human player and the same system could have been used.

Again, I suspect the reason was simply that allowing tactical battle in
multiplayer games would have made the waits between turns unbearably long
and really diminish the multiplayer experience for everyone. Imagine 6
players all waiting for each one of the battles to resolve for each
player...
