I'm a big proponent for multi-city management, but I think attacking is a skill that should be easily mastered with a notepad. Write down your target city on the top right of a page, write down the cities you are attacking with along the left in each row, and note the land time and anything significant about the army (scholar, clear, rams etc).
My cities - - - ENEMY CITY NAME
Alpha - clear - 12:01:34
Beta - clear - 12:01:40
Gargantuan - clear - 12:01:50
Fort Knox - 3 scholar waves - 12:02 - 12:03
Whatever - 2 scholar waves - 12:02
I have done this with multiple simultaneous attacks and it works well. You know which city to check and at what time, and its easy to do with the new sidebar. I usually use this method to even check travel time first, figure out what order I want the cities to hit in, and backtrack launch times from each city, which is very nice to have the sidebar to quickly jump between them and launch at my noted times. If this were all automatic, that means anyone can do what skilled players have taken a long time to learn and perfect with no effort? Boo.
