What would you like to see improved in NTW

What features that where in Empire total war that you would like to see improved or added in NTW?
I'll start us off

1) Improved AI
2) More factions
3) Better diplomacy AI
4) Better marching band music

Decent building layouts, more occupiable buildings, walled church yards as well, creating epic defences within battles. Better looking buildings
We have seen some screenshots of building layouts for NTW, and they look better, but we also saw decent screenshots of towns for ETW, and in the game they weren't there, we got those ghastly mangled layouts, with orrible looking buildings, and from a bit of a distance, even on maxed settings, their really poor!

i think naval battle should have more impact on land like taking, improved diplomacy

AI, more factions and more historical care.

1. ai of course
2. diversity (more units factions etc.)
3. diplomacy (more options)
4. historical accuracy (till a certain extent)
5. naval battles (still a lot of potential)
6. maps (more interesting maps in single player)
7. defences and sieges
8. music
9. bugs and ctd
10. better support (no more gamebreaking support please)
11. multiplayer (more gamemods, more periods etc.)
12. per order units (really frustrating having to wait 3 months to get some units)

I hope this is enough

Diplomacy,better AI, more battle music (don't play native American music in Europe )

The old reinforcement system in campaign battles as they were in RTW and M2TW.
The system of ETW kills epic battles as they were in the earlier titles. Is is silly to have 2 armies together but to fight only with one on the field and the rest will go on the field unit by unit after losses. Why on hell isn't the second own army as too further enemy AI armies not from the start on complet on the filed anf fought AI controlled?
That it will work even in ETW shows f.e. the simple fact, that if the player is the reinforcement of an AI ally, he will fight in complete strength on the field by getting after the start on it too beside his AI ally and even the reinforcements of the AI enemy do so too!

This is my most important demand (and I mean demand not whish!!!) to NTW!

I agree with Mandelus, The battles will make or break this game.
More and varied battle fields needed.

Immersion

Only 1 thing really and that is the whole game.

Sticking with a formula until it works is kind of insulting to me the player because what I have been buying ever since Shogun are experiments where always something was just not right. They came close to perfection in Rome but there the Legion pay per city ed the game with some cities always being in the minus even though I never actually built troops there and some other annoyances and stuff also held it from perfection.

But than Medieval II was a graphical experiment that was quite successful in my eyes. IT was great seeing Blood and dirt smudge your soldiers as they fought on (Blood and dirt mod) and the gameplay whilst less complicated than Rome's also took a twist for the better.

However Empire was an engine experiment which ended up being my least enjoyable Total War to date (until the mods started up) and took a good 6 months before becoming acceptably stable and solid enough to play.

Now Napoleon is another experiment: This time round is story telling. We follow one man, in a much smaller world with much smaller goals than Empire or Medieval. What I have my knickers in a twist over now is that we will follow Napoleon, every dogged step of the way scripted like a Broadway musical. Instead of the much needed BAI Overhaul, CAI overhaul, Diplomacy Overhaul, Combat Overhaul, Trade Overhaul and Stability half of CA's time is stuck getting Napoleons story in a playable way.

A: No more crashing!!!!!
B: Include faction-specific marching-music with more than one faction's music audible simultaneously.
C: Bring back large battlefield cities - inside star-forts where historically the case.
D: Bridges and rivers inside cities.
E: Regiment-specific banners - not just faction-banners. Looks like I will get my wish on this one.

1. Improved/Fixed BAI and CAI
2. More provinces in GC or moddable GC
3. More traits for generals, admirals, agents and polititians
4. Improved Diplomacy

The Reinforcement system, it flat out sucks in ETW and is a poor and lazy design compared to the other TW games.

I'd like the developers to buy and play' Age of Napoleon' 2nd edition board game before releasing NTW.A reasonably simple game which imo recreates the military and dipomatic possibilities of the Nap.wars in a very historical way while allowing various outcomes.I like the way insurrections in occupied countries are dealt with.An excellent game for 2 players which can be played in an evening.

Fix the old pathfinding (since RTW?) issue of cavalry trying to chase down routers and in Mtw1 your cavalry could even die in the process of chasing them down. Like the thought they still somewhat trying to defended themselves when trying to flee.

Line of sight added to the battlefield game. ex; Id like to not know where their reinforcements are coming from if marching through forest or behind a hill.

Fix the fort battles. I dreaded fort battles with inf running around the walls spiderman climbing them. USE THE DAMN ARTY, AI.

Enviroment should have more of an effect on the battle. Cavalry shouldnt be able to charge through thick forest with deadfall and brush that you usually find in RL.

Garrisoning buildings. I never like how slow your troops shot out of the buildings. Dont the other 100 guys sitting inside not loading the guns for the shooter?

Get rid of Story mode. Arg, I never finished ETWs RTI or bought Alexander. Instead had wish they would put the effort into the GC. Now I suspect Im going to feel the same for this one as well.

these are just some off the top of my head..

Much more detail to the campaign map. Where are all the forests, rivers, villages, lakes, etc that contribute to the battle. The battle normally extended for miles and was normally multiple small engagements rather than one big engagement. Without them it feels like the strategic part is lacking because it was more than simply moving an army to this area, there were many things in the area which aren't shown.
