cities and provinces.
The americas should be left in the game, and the aztecs as well, Maybe even expand the americas and have several native american tribes if itsis possible. I also hate the vanilla mercenary situation. There should be way more types of units and such, and they should all be area specific. Like Viking Berserkers and English druids, there just needs to be much more variety, and there needs to be a lot of them to hire. Also, if you not want to follow the pope and catholicism, you should be able to forsake it in your lands, and practice paganism.
Whether it be norse mythology or druidism, or the worship of the ancient persian gods, you should be able to embrace the ancestral religions and forsake the new ones, just to have fun and go against the church. Temples should be able to be built in the name of Oden, Thor, Ahura Mazda, Ra, Osiris, etc...... And if you did embrace the old ways, different unit types would become available.
I also believe that most of the generic vanilla units should be removed and replaced by newer, and more unique units. Instead of Peasants in denmark, have hillmen or woodsmen, or barbarian units. Get rid of the generic spearmen and town militias. And when it comes to knights, every faction should have their on style, strengths and weaknesses. One factions knights have lances and two handed swords, while another factions has throwing spears and a shield and one handed mace. Just et a lot of variety so all the factions feel very different. There should also be more blood. Vanilla blood is weak. The campaign should not be too long, but longer than it is in vanilla. Enemies should also be smarter and build up stacked armies like im sure we all do. The orthodox factions should also have crusades of a sort, as they are terribly boring.
Now my question has to do with unit size. There is no adjuster in game, and i was wondering if you could change this or if i am missing it. Also, is it possible to expand unit sizes, so we could have regiments of 1000 men and companies of 500 horses, this would make the battle much more realistic. Thanks a lot fo taking the time to read this and i hope you can make some of these improvements.
