First off, I am ecstatic to see that this series is alive and well. I can't wait for the fall/spring when this most recent iteration will come out. Its also nice to see that this community is still as vibrant and liviely as ever.

We all are aware I hope of the historical manner that armies were assembled in the Middle Ages. Unlike MTW, armies had to be assembled and commanded by the feudal regional lord who owed allegiance to his lord for several months out of the year.

Although this will neverthelsss make MTW@ incredibly complex and for some rather unwiedly, I think the game would benfit enormously from such restrictions on unrealistic standing armies.

Additionally, I would also like to see continued develiopment in the family trees. Although I was delighted to see the tree make its inaugural appearance in RTW (still one my favourtie games of all time sans BI), I would to see more in the way of easier to secure royal marriages. (perhaps the protestant revolution will also be acknoledged in the inrtduction of the idea of divorce/annullment?)
