I would like to see more cities.
I disovered pretty early from stratmap screenshots that there would not be many more cities/provinces in RTW than there were provinces in MTW.
While I was hoping for more I also realized the gameplay problems this could cause.
The main issue seems to be how far armies can move in six months since the stratmap is not realtime.
For CA to have semi-realistic movement ranges on six month turns you have to balance out quantity and quality.
More cities would probably mean not only a larger stratmap but the turn length would have to be reduced to three or even one month lengths.
Otherwise you could have many of the cities just being bypassed by blitzkriegs deep into enemy territory.
While this could be fun it could also be horribly frustrating to novice players.![]()
I have long been hoping for a game that provides Totalwar's tactical flair with Civilization's strategic flair. However blending the two on a global or even continental scale is probably still beyond modern software capabilities.
Maybe one day...
