There are a few features from earlier titles which I miss. I wish we had them back or at least something of similar value:
- A family tree showing my whole family, not only a few brothers and sons. I want to see the founder, his dead brothers and everyone else belong to the family. This feature was lost since Empire and in my eyes was lacking in Shogun 2.
- Archers firing where I tell them to without positioning themselves for half an eternity. If I tell them to fire behind them, why is it that the whole formation turns 180° first? I think it annoying since Empire. Archers are not Line Infantry, after all.
- Choosing your capital. It was especially annoying when characters spawned in your capital city and you played Chosokabe, Shimazu or Mori. If a monk or Ninja was imprisoned somewhere far in the north, it would take them many turns to go back to where they were before. Moving the capital to somewhere more central would've helped.
- Re-training troops! I know they removed that from Shogun 2 to prevent troops from becoming too strong, but I wish we could keep this feature at least within reasonable limits, such as re-equipping better weapons and armor only. I wouldn't mind if it caused higher upkeep, but the possibility would certainly be nice.
- Exchanging/buying/selling provinces through diplomaticy. Unlike those things above this went lost just recently, but I hope it makes a return.
I don't miss everything, though, like those annoying rebels or unhappiness due to distance to the capital. Is there anything you people miss from older TW games?
