We've already seen the start of this synergy in FotS with ships providing off-map artillery provided they are close on the campaign map, but fully integrated into the battle itself? Sounds pretty fun.



Nope. I don't like it. I want the ability to micromanage CA. I want more control over my people, more flexibility in how i rule them, more, not less. Empire completely ruined everything in that regard when it tried to bunch everything up into one massive province, or have you forgotten one province France? Empire gave me a HUGE disconnect feeling when it came to ruling my faction. I never felt like i controlled a powerful entity due to the total lack of civic depth.

Shogun 2 was a step in the right direction. Letting me control more provinces without globbing them together needlessly made me feel, not only that i was making real progress as i built and conquered, but let me feel like I was ruling over a growing political entity. It allowed for more flexibility in both how I managed economic and military building. Not once did I ever say to myself "You know i wish all this control was taken away from me."
Same here.

I wonder how they got the idea that gamers were finding battles impossible to prepare neatly just because of the overwhelming micromanagement.
