I agree:
1) Both fortress' and beacons need to have "The Button."
2) "The Button" should be all inclusive for the fortress/beacon *AND* one for selecting all of an individual member's troops.
3) Only the Marshall and those Captains that the Marshall designates should have rights to the buttons.
4) All returned troops should go directly to the catacombs.
The reasons behind these buttons makes perfect sense. This game is a world-wide game and several leagues have members scattered across different time-zones. Not all member's speak the same language and online translators are imperfect when it comes to translating important league affecting messages. On top of that, each league has members with varying levels of activity; we all have real lives that effect our ability to play consistently. The Marshall *NEEDS* to have the ability to make league wide changes in a timely manner, regardless of player circumstances I've listed above. And the Marshall can't be expected to do everything for their league by themselves, so allowing *TRUSTED* Captains rights to help the Marshall only makes sense. However Plarium envisioned the beacons to function (transferable or not) doesn't matter when in practice they are used in a diplomatic fashion (as well as the fortresses when it comes to upgrades/downgrades), so to keep the enjoyment of the game for new and old players, "The Buttons" need to happen.
