Historically Inaccurate Things We Want

[DavosSeaworth]

So, as we know the Roman ninjas and other such similar nonsense was by no means true to the historical narrative of RTW, but what fantasy units/ features did we like and want back regardless?

I for one will vouch for screeching women, nothing was as entertaining or relieving in dealing with some screaming wenches from the cold heart of Germania to take your mind off of your last defeat in the Teutoberg forest. Perhaps include them as a 0-1 unit, I'd hate to see the AI spam them, and after seeing some of the more suspicious AI stacks in previous titles I wouldn't put it past them.

maybe druids, but just used to inspire the troops, but horrible at fighting

My vote goes for Corinthian helmets...

Druids should be brilliant at fighting. But they should come in groups of 12 not 120 or whatever ridiculous amount it was.

Possibility of Peoples and Nations changing their ways of life, their army system...basically their destinies...

Of course you do. Otherwise all your campaigns will have the same result.

Well all my completed campaigns since the first Shogun have the same result. I won!

[atheniandp]

Same goes for me. Except I've lost playing Medieval XL. Once.

[ChairmanCrassus]

I want bright and distinctive colors for all factions: red Romans, white Carthaginians, green Gauls, etc.

Bezerkers, Spartans, chariots, Roman cav, elephants should be alot less powerful. No urbans. More balanced factions, but Romans should still be pretty powerful.

Phalanx should completely own hoplites.

[Hobbes]

Of course you do. Otherwise all your campaigns will have the same result.

I think he means no inaccuracies for units, settlement mechanics etc..

But even that is a complete fallacy.

For instance, if Gaul (or whoever) had developed new units/strategies/weapons/tactics, then their relationship with Rome would have been very different.

So by holding a hard line on these things and forcing pure historical accuracy, you are handicapping those factions in the game and actually unbalancing it.

I don't think people would want pure historical thing throughout the whole game. Who wants to to wait 400 turn until their hastati automatically turns into legionaires.

We many (not all) possibly wants is the game is as historical it is at the start. Once you clicked en turn the first time it's your turn to create your own history.

WTF is this "we" business? You don't speak for me. You don't speak for a lot of people here.

There are we who wants a full stack of Romans first cohorts fighting Tutankhamon's chariot armies.

I represent the we who do not wants this nonsense in a game which is base in history.

If we (our kind) wants to fight dragons we will play skyrim.
