    Default Features you want for future TWs

    With all these threads about "what's the next TW gonna be?" and "ROME TOO FOREVA!!!!!!!11!!!ONE!!!ELEVEN!!11!!!EXCLAMATIONMARK" threads going on around here, may as well begin a subject for features you want to see in future Total Wars, no matter what title it is.

    Mine would be: Supply Lines- I want to see a supply line feature similar to that of attrition, here's how it'd work.

    a. If you start fighting too far from a city with "supply lines" improvement (extra slot per city, only for that though.) will start to suffer attrition losses due to starvation, disease and desertion. You so it'd make not conquering for your faction and being too far away from your lands would have some effect.
    b. They would also work like trade routes and would be raidable. This would have the army steal supplies from enemy supply lines to sustain your own army.

    c. The supply lines would also follow your army, but would get scarcer and harder to gain supplies as you get farther from the city that it originates from. This would not be a factor in friendly territory, as odds are you can demand things from the locals.

    d. Army sizes would require more supplies, so taking cities and establishing new supply lines would be imperative for them. Smaller armies require less supplies, and supply lines can go further for small armies than large ones. This would hamper "eternal stacks of doom" that each game has at least one faction which churns these out. As well as the human player.

    So? What would you like to see in future TW games features-wise?

    I reckon the one feature that would add the most enjoyment to total war would be a first person camera view. Hell, why stop there? Your character should even be allowed to fight! It would add to the role-playing element if your general (ie you) could bust out a few wicked moves at just the right moment. And conversely, be punished severely, by dying, by trying to do too much.
    "Huh?"
