2. Make actual auto-resolve feature. One that simulates the actual battle and takes things like siege or unit types into account.

3. Reduce the bonuses the AI get on hard, the jump between normal and hard is too much. Feels like there should be a difficulty level in between.

3.) Overall campaign balancing -- my first playthrough had half the map burnt by 408. Don't just let the huns wander everwhere the whole game burning everything script them to come and go. Rethink unit upkeep and conversion costs
4.) Zone of control. I get that armies have them it's good. Armies hiding behind walls however shouldn't have a ZOC unless they come out to intercept/attack.
5.) Is it not possible to program the AI to accompany his transports with a few naval units?

3. Less Hardcoded Diplomacy - It seems like there's very little diplomacy to be done in this game, because virtually everyone hates everyone else at the start of the game. The North African nations, for example, are way too angry and should probably be more predisposed towards trading and co-existence with Rome.
1. This is a real ballbreaker for me, is there any chance of reducing the ammount of times barbarian factions will raze a city and make it desolate? im sick of the large swathes of DESOLATE in my campaigns, would be nice if some of those hordes would actually SETTLE a province rather then just roaming the map completely ing everything up. It doesnt' add too much to the game imo, its more of a nuisance.

3. balance the imperium level gain. its a bit strange you have two imperium level upgrades in maybe 20 turns while sacking through europe while your army strength stays the same. i had -30 to -50 diplomatic penalty already very early in the campaign. later in the campaign its pretty much impossible to establish any treaties. the mechanic itself is great! but a bit too harsh right now.

2. Re-balance unit prices in custom battle/multiplayer. The cost vs effectiveness needs looked at for alot of units.
3. Sarmatian faces for sarmatian units. Ever since it was mentioned it now bugs me

I know this is Total War, but it's still a bit silly that making new allies from turns 10-15 onwards is basically impossible because of this penalty.
-Rework the economy. Corruption gets out of hand very fast, and lots of units have upkeep costs that do not reflect their combat performance I find (Roman units in general barely perform better than Germanic ones and sometimes cost almost double the upkeep!). Maybe reduce the cost of some building lines, mostly sanitation since it's so important.
-(yes 4 points) Rework unit upgrades. This whole thing about not being able to recruit low tier units after researching high tier ones not only creates unrealistic armies of elite units, it exacerbates the above problem by making your upkeep costs soar into the stratosphere.

4# [...] add Proper-PUSH Animations for SIEGE Engines.
5# And remove the 50/50 woman-man units, First there where no woman units and now almost all units have female warriors in them Really CA be a little more diverse with unit choices.
6# And tweak AI,s auto-run ability now there are almost always tired when the battle even starts.

Note: Several requests from the same user that fall into a certain category (e.g. Campaign balance) count as a single vote towards that category.
I might have skipped a few quotes for certain issues that are mentioned in multiple posts. The number of votes is still accurate.
My wishlist:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
1. Optimization. I want to play those big battles with three, four and more stacks but at the moment such battles are unenjoyable, not to say unplayable. I can't get decent FPS despite my PC exceeding the recommended specs. Even regular 40 unit battles tend to lag a bit when zoomed in during the fight. I don't recall having such issues with a patched Rome 2.
2. More fleshed out factions in stead of the current placeholders. Celts with Nordic units? Slavs with Germanic units? Alans having mostly Germanic units? The list goes on. I know this will eventually be improved with DLCs, but in my opinion this issue is glaring enough that it deserves to be fixed with patches/FreeLC as well.
3. Bring back unique banners for all factions. This yellow vs red square fest is getting old quickly. And please make the balance bar hideable. So many things are optional/hideable, why not the balance bar?

1 request, CA. Change that green bar above units to represent their morale instead of their unit number (again since u guys already have the same bar on the unit card.)

Why? The solid, flashing, flashing white and white flag show unit morale perfectly. The green bar isn't just for your troops but the enemy as well. The new unit icons have so much information its awesome. I don't want them to change a thing. In a glance I can see the what unit types are arrayed against me, which units are a threat, what the morale in the enemy forces is like, their unit strength, and the amount of ammunition they have left. Bringing the old banners back is a HUGE step backwards.
1 request, CA. Change that green bar above units to represent their morale instead of their unit number (again since u guys already have the same bar on the unit card.)
Here my list:
1) Peformance -> self-explanatory
2) Stronger WRE -> I'd rather fight them if I play with nomadic/barbarian faction rather than seeing them fall in 5-10 years. WRE defeated the Huns after all
3) Celtic culture -> obvious ruining of immersion
1. Fix AI chasing enemy armies multiple regions away, leaving their provinces defenseless
2. fix COMPLETE CAMPAIGN FREEZE (happened to a friend as WRE, during Hun's turn the game locks and can't continue).
3. Fix AI chasing player's cavarly units excessively with non-cavarly units.
Does if freeze after end turn? It happen to me sometimes, and I used to CTRL+ALT+CANC the game (corruption 12 files in the process btw), then I realized that I just needed to wait for 30 sec-1 min for the game to recover by itself

It froze during Hun's turn, so it wasn't at the end.
It would be almost as strong as the return of the family tree. It makes micromanagement much more intelligent and coherent. I mean, since people began to beat each other it has always been logical that the winning one run after the loosing one, and even people fighting in formation were sometimes driven away and headlessly running after the loosing unit. Look at the game Pike and Shot and how they magistraly implanted this feature (when your unit pursue the loosing unit you loose control over it).
