    Lots of good suggestions here, though at some, it begs the question: is AI going to be able to handle it?

    CAI would probably commit suicide at the end of video.
    fear is helluva drug
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    “The only rule that ever made sense to me I learned from a history, not an economics, professor at Wharton. "Fear," he used to say, "fear is the most valuable commodity in the universe." That blew me away. "Turn on the TV," he'd say. "What are you seeing? People selling their products? No. People selling the fear of you having to live without their products." freakin' A, was he right. Fear of aging, fear of loneliness, fear of poverty, fear of failure. Fear is the most basic emotion we have. Fear is primal. Fear sells.” WWZ

    Have you had your daily dose of fear yet? craziii

    yeah all old ideas, im sure CA considered most of them and as others pointed out most would be very hard to implement for AI
    War is Hell, and I'm the Devil!

    Some of them wouldn't be any harder than the systems in game already. This public order system with a few flat changes in the vanilla (like conquest) would be better to see than the current version. Bringing back wounded men would be nice to see and I still wish that minor settlements in Empire were properly developed so we could avoid more seiges.

    I am me. You are not me. You are you. If I was you, I wouldn't be me.
    If you were me, I'd be sad.But I wouldn't then be me because you'd be me so you wouldn't be me because I wasn't me because you were me but you couldn't be because I'd be a different me. I'd rather be any kind of bird (apart from a goose) than be you because to be you I'd have to not be me which I couldn't do unless someone else was me but then they would be you aswell so there would still be no me. They would be you because I was you so to restore balance you would have to be me and them meaning all three of us would become one continously the same. That would be very bad.

    Some of them are good, some of them are only useful in very particular scenarios, and some of them are clearly only good if you absolutely love dealing with them every time.

    And yes, nearly all of them would require the AI to also use them with a level of intelligence, so that pretty much makes the features a no-go.

    video's suggestions are far too broad to comment on in a single response though, I think the guy should have been more specific and narrow in his subjects, I mean some might work well in a game like Empire but work horribly in Rome2, and vice versa.

    Unfortunately the people who make these games lack any kind of vision

    In here within lies the problem. I think that there are many people working for CA who certainly know what qualities would make a better game, but they don't call the shots. It's a giant bureaucracy now, with people working on different elements that probably don't even talk to each other. It's like bad poetry or philosophy, it's been whitewashed or over mitigated by the wrong means. The collective spirit of CA went out with a whimpering bark after Rome 2. It had been in a slow decline prior, but that was the final flutter.
    Shogun 2, no thanks I will stick with Kingdoms SS.
