Here are some random thoughts that occurred to me.
1. There should be some middle eastern and african province with iron. Syria should have one to reflect its fine quality of Damascus sword, for example. As of now, iron seems to be just clustered in Spain and Eastern germany/hungary.
2. Someone mentioned conquistadores and chinese dynastic total war for the future. I think it would be cooler to have Mongols: Total War. It would be fun to roam all the way from Mongolia to China to Japan, and to Russia, Europe, and to England. Of course, the game would be too big, and balancing between countless nations would be troublesome, but it would still be fun to play the world in grander scale.
3. I think corner is way too easy to defend. One should have constant rebellions in corner provinces(scotland, khazar, syria, arabia, and africa etc.) to give it a more challenge. I think Sahara should be a permanent rebel country where units can come out of the territory, but can't get into it.
4. I think the game should take account of the stray arrow. I think archers should make a fabulous ambusher if they fire on the enemies from the forest. It should panick the enemy, and accuracy penalty should not be so severe.
5. Diplomacy should be more complex. Sometimes, I wish I had a choice to force the enemies into paying large sums of tributes for keeping my troops behind the border. It would be also more fun and challenging if the remaining factions all ally against one superior faction if the latter becomes too powerful. This way, they would not self-destruct by fighting amongst each other when there is a much superior foe waiting to grab them all. i.e. The Anti-Mongol Alliance.
This is not my wishlist. It is purely some of my rambling thoughts. Post yours two cents too, or comment about mine. I like to read some cool thoughts and ideas.
