It used to be, in version 3.x, that nomads were just a pain.
They would rampage and you'd have to send armies to pin them
down and eventually destroy them.

Now, they roam with total freedom.  I find that you can send an
army of any size against a nomad tribe of any size, under any
sort of mode (attack, grouped, etc) and the nomads can just
walk away.  The only way to have a chance of getting any sort
of attack on them is to surround themm with armies so that no
matter which way they go they hit one.  Of course it's hard
to come up with eight 1000+ armies for all the nomads that appear.

Why is this a feature now?  Or is it just a bug?  Or did I screw up
something in the config?
