When I play Medieval Total War I find that sometimes I'm not sure what certain buildings are for/what units do and how to get to build certain units. What I mean is when you are building a building and it gives you a little info on the building, what it does for you and so on I find that when it says that with that building I can build certain things and I can eventually build other things with additions of other buildings I sometimes want a little more.

What I mean is somehow incorporating little "links" that you click on the name of something (like a Unique unit that a Province is historically known for) and you can click on it and find out more about the unit. It would also be incredible to be able to open up a little dialogue box with the Tech Tree listing the things that you need to get to certain units that it refers to. Little in game thigns like that would be very helpful for beginners. In Civilization 2 they have a similar thing where if you want to research one thing they tell you what to research to get to that point and even show an explosed Tech Tree of sorts.

I realize that it might be too difficult to incorporate that into the game at this point in teh developement stage but I thought it was worth a shot. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/cheers.gif

I think an in-game, readily accessible tech tree is a great idea.

They have said that they want to make the game so that you should be able to master it without needing to touch the manual & that there's heaps more ingame information.

There's certainly much more info about units as seen in one or two screenshots.

Even better, it seems that the province improvement parchment thingie is built as a tech tree, with unavailable buildings greyed out http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/bigthumb.gif
