No, that is fair enough and I'm glad that you understand. Missions are something that we haven't discussed; however, there are some clear possibilities. Only problem is how to execute it. As the player, you are the king, you are the chieftan, you are the senate. There isn't an external entity guiding you: you are the state. We could try to use missions to show certain objectives that need to be obtained that always would be (e.g. Alexander's grave), but it's still needs to be decided.

The problem is that a successful general is no threat to the player. The general can't depose the player/senate. Player would need some motive for actions.

There are two kinds of EB players I see here.

The one kind plays to win and want to create the best generals and so on.

The other kind role plays more, and does what those generals themselves would do (based on their traits). They create their own motives... their own story as you like to call it.

I'm not sure I follow what you're saying. I don't see how a successful general dictates the needs for missions. If you mean as a usurper from within the players own faction, that is as much a possibility through the loyalty mechanic as it is a limitation of the TW engine.

I've removed the trolling posts, but I've left the responses because others took up the discussion.

For the record: I think Foot responded too harshly to some ill-judged comments. That said: this forum is the home of EB, and people should be respectful of the team and their work. If you think the EB team is wrong, you can say so, but please be polite about it.
