I think their should be researchable upgrades which then always improve the armour regardless of where the unit is trained, I mean say armour upgrade for each unit instead of ones for every, as archers wouldn't realkly upgrade armour, maybe upgrade their weapons to make them more efficient etc, that would be ok

Konnichiwa,

I hope there will, but not like done in STW.
I certainly don't want honor as in STW. 'Honor' should be morale only.

In STW you had nice animations for Naginata inf and Ysam. In WE both units use the same animations. The men in this file don't hold a weapon anymore. If the man is a YS it getsa long yari, if he's a naginata he gets a short polearm (the weapon is inserted in the animation).

It would be nice to do the same with weaponupgrades. Not upgraded swordsmen get a cheap short sword, while upgraded ones get a long- or broadsword.

Farmers could get a pointy wooden stick, farmers with a weaponupgrade a spear with an iron blade. The second upgrade could be a spear with a better quality shaft (oak shafts would have different colors from cheap wood).

In a similair way, armor upgrades could be expressed by adding helmets, shinguards or breastplates.

What's wrong in STW though, is that every unit gains the same one point (or 2). While the cheap units pay less for them than the expensive one.

Now, now... we all know the true axiom goes like this:

Know nothing and you'll learn nothing.
Know a lot and you'll think you learned a lot, but will actually still know nothing.

as a little detail i would like the mainstay (farmers) of your army to have random weapons. Some swords, some spears, some hayforks, some with helmets some without, armour etc. it would be more realistic and kinda fun i think

... and some with just rotten apples and vegetables.

Will there be bagpipers or drummers to lead the men into battle? If so, and he gets shot or killed, will his last note deviate into a scratch?

Will their be battlefield priests? (Remember in Highlander, the priest pulls a blade from his shaft to kill an enemy soldier, after which he gives him a quick blessing... http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/tongue.gif )
