If I could wish for a new expansion.....

I think sea battles could offer a whole new set of problems...
Weather (wind strength and choppyness of sea) would make a great difference in the way a battle may go. Trying to trap an enemy against the wind ought to be a challenge in itself.
Depending on how different classes of ships would act, in different weather conditions it may be possible to stack the odds against an enemy fleet by using a more appropriate class of vessel.
On the coastal areas, sandbanks and underwater rocks could be used for trapping vessels with deeper hulls.
Also gun ships can often only fire from the side, so attacking a large ship with many more nibble ships could be a viable tactic.
Range of fire would be important. Getting along side a ship to snag it and board it would be fun.
Adding the option of manning ships with different types of crew; melee, missle or a combination could be another tactical choice.
When sending troops for coastal landings, limiting the size of the attacking force by the fleet size would add some reality.
etc etc

Anyone played any of the Patrician games? Or Port Royale for that matter. They had a nice in game Sea battle engine. And goddamn those games were addictive! Especially in multiplayer. Need to fire that up again sometime soon.

I agree with Mujalumbo, more diplomatic options would be nice. Like, giving people/ demanding land as part of a peace deal/ alliance, paying countries to let your troops go through, or when you beat the stuffing out of someone, make them pay you a yearly tribute to compliment your income. All these would be real easy to do as well I reckon

If you want a naval war, get Sid Meyer's Pirates. It's GTA with Pirates.

I'd like a Dark ages Campaign for the whole map.

Roll across Europe as the Vikings, beat back the Arabs as Charles Martel.

The big event would be the invention of the stirrup.
