Generally everything in Vanilla is either boring or broken.
The final straw was when an English army that had been just sitting around Bruges for years doing nothing and not even spoiling the land, finally gets the idea to siege Bruges, and INSTANTLY prosecutes that siege within the same turn with a full suite of towers, rams, and ladders.
Okay, ya know, whatever....
I've grown to appreciate product balancing for commercial release, and the artfulness of a smaller tighter map etc.
But I like DLV, permanently.
