I was playing a rather boring seige early against the AI on the standard small castle by coast map and decided to have a look around and was pleasantly suprised by what i found. 
A nice, decent sized Village.
Another small village, this time by the rivers mouth
Yet another village at the bottom of the cliffs (Yes thatrs right guys, that HUGE cliff the castle sits upon aint just a cliff!)
And the best, saved till last. We all thought Maku camps wouldnt make it into the game.....
These little details just make the game even more amazing in my eyes. Its just a shame that these places are in areas which are both iunaccessable and not very noticeable.
