An idea for castles/cities

[impspy]

As you know in Medieval 2 the castles allow the recruitment of elite units, while the cities make the money.

I was thinking the the EB team could turn the castles into a fort/outpost structure, which would allow the recruitment of native troops, while the cities convert the region to the factions culture, allowing the factions own troops to be recruited.

There are plans of the castle/city system. But it is a secret...

Lets say these spaces are made out of cosmetical AND humoristical considerations...
If you still don't get it, avoid such ambigous and narcistic things as the internet.

The first Europa Barbarorum game had a four government system. This contradicted Rome: Total War's one government system but it worked well enough. Medieval II: Total War, on the other hand, has a two government system. My Lord suspects the Europa Barbarorum team will expand on that two government system to complement their multi-government system.

Yes, It would be cool to have the senate(pope) have sort of a heavy and even anoying influence in roman diplomatic matters. At least until the republic was renamed an empire(could be done with scipts???) then we would have a different kind of senate(council of nobles).

[sumskilz]

I can't really imagine the Pope mechanism working in EBII, but the Council of Nobles might be interesting because it could represent the Seante for Rome but be applied to different faction in different ways.

Two governments in M2TW? Where?

He refers to the city/castle system. However, I don't take it for granted that the EB team will try to recreate their EB1 government system in EB2. They may do something completely different.

I am not sure if it can be done, but I am sure it won't be done. This mod is not just about the Romans, so they won't get an unique senate faction a la R:TW vanilla.

I am hoping that castles are preserved but that the differences between cities and castles are minimized. Overall the income, population growth, and recruitment would be similar for growth. Cities might generate a little more trade income and allow building of slightly more advanced civic and economic structures, whereas castles might be a little easier to maintain public order and allow slightly increased quantity of recruitment. It would be a choice that the player could make or that would represent the historical orientation of the region but wouldn't have a huge impact like in M2TW vanilla... That's just my opinion though.
