Lack of a Universal Authority

So I was pondering this today and it just sort of struck me.

In Rome Total War (assuming you played the romans) you had the senate.

In medieval total war you had the Pope.

Which led for two large entites that did two things, first a variety of small missions that could lead to a grand ambition, and secondly made you feel connected to the other families/nations that exsisted.

This time frame I am no expert on but I can't think of any body acting as a sort of Euro Governing Body. Obviously your own nobles, and people will have more of a say but I don't think it will have the connection between nations the old ones did. Then again if they truly improve diplomacy (Not just add two new options) then maybe it wont' be a issue because alliances will actually mean something.

Just some thoughts, feel free to chime in if you agree, disagree, or don't care :laugh4:

I dont think there will be that feature. It was inplemented in the RTW/M2TW engine, but has no reason to be in ETW.

In STW you had the Emperor though he really did nothing.

Like pever I wouldn't think there would be such a feature, but if there is I have no idea who or what it would be.
