Minor adjustments

Yes slower battles would be good, the idea of navies is great.
Just one idea/question. Would we be able to hand out titles at all?
An idea with the pope, you know in RTW they have certain positions, how about you have the pope give them out, the top prize being Holy Roman Emperor. Oh my gosh I just had an idea, how about using the three Roman families system for the three Frankik Kingdoms, you know all allied to the pope and each other, go out conquering, main goal to be, well, perhaps Holy Roman emperor, that means that the highest office available from the pope could be something else. Is this possible?, man it would be awsome, and really make this MOD stand out.

actually I think that is the plan, but I think it's not to that extent... the "title" holy roman empire wasn't handed out by the pope anyway, was it? I think french, hre and lotherangia is going to be the three roman families and to some extent get directed by the pope (senate). How and how much I guess is still a unansweared question; if legio knows, I think he is the only one...

Yes I beleive the pope did hand it out. But you could gain it by conquering the papacy.
Also, the colours in RTW are to bloody phsycadelic. Could we darken and dim things, that would make it really cool. Also, are you going to voice MOD.

a voicemod takes a lot of time, and nobody on the team has actually planned to do this I think. the original ones wouldn't fit at all I think, so I would reather cut the voices if it was up to me.

1.) darken and dim things up is a part of the plan

2.) I also think we should slightly enhance or change the colors in the campaignmap tiles - just to give it our own feelin. we could either give it some more colors and contrasts, or we could desaturate it. it would only be very slight ajustments, but I think it would be great. could "dirt" things up a little. would be very little work except for the experimenting-part. got the idea from eb. don't know if they've done it, but I think it looked to me like they have.

for instance, think dark greyish north sea.

3.) by the way, I also wish to cut the time limit in battles, and I think you all agree....

4.) and I think we should do something about the attack settlement battles, they just aren't memorable enough. huger cites, and maybe harder to get in (stronger walls). bigger forts.

5.) Smaller campaignmap characters?

Yeah those are great ideas.
Aren't you guys going to increase the scale of the map i.e, same circumfrance but bigger,take more time to travel.

You shouldn't take more time to travel - take less! It already takes forever to go anywhere in RTW. If you increase the size, increase travel distances, or something!

I agree. Huger map could be cool, but then I would vote for minimum double distances. Boats will have increased distances, and longboats most of them all...

By the way I think we should make the mod for BI. We won't manage to release this before months after it comes out anyway, so I don't think this is an obstacle. Just my opinion as I think there will be lot of upgrades and new features...
