Q. Is there any chance that the expansion would add "advanced gameplay options" into the game: i.e. so that you could choose whether you'll have the default battle map movement speeds or more realistic ones, default battlefields or bigger ones with armies starting further away from each other, the mainly flat clear battlefields or more complicated ones such as in the historical battles, etc. This would prevent a big part of complaints, since different people are always looking for different things from the same game.
A. It is true to say that different people are looking for different things from the same game. However we cannot be all things to all people and so we have chosen, what we believe to be, the best balance for the largest number of players. It should be remembered that this is an expansion, not a completely new game. Multiple varieties of movement speeds and multiple varieties of battlefield sizes, would require multiple sets of animations and unit balancing for each set of units. This would be a very large task to achieve and well beyond the bounds of an expansion pack. We have however reworked the existing movement speeds for all the Rome Total War(tm) units to create a better balance in this aspect of the game
