What improvements VI brings

[fester]

Im thinking of getting VI and I've heard that there are some marked improvements to the game e.g.moving reinforcements. What are these improvements???

Well the swipping bug is gone for one. Their are new units and better balance. There is also a whole new era that being viking with new factions and units.

VI also makes Hungarians, Sicilians and Aragonese playable, id adds some of new units (for example Byz lancers, Arab infarty, Faris, Slav warriors, Armoured spearmen), BF can catch spies much easier...

There's a pre-battle option to select your starting 16 units, and to order your reinforcement queue. That alone is worth the price of VI!

You can save the game at the pre-battle screen, but this feature may fail to work properly once in a while. The rate of attrition of sieging armies has been adjusted, and the probability of a king dying has been changed to work better. As I recall, the pathfinding of crusades is slightly better.

You can play lots of cool mods that can't be played with MTW alone. With other words, you get a lot of games for the price of one

In other words VI is the best damn game of its type in the world. Yes better than RTW and maybe the greatest bargain on the market today.

And the Z,X,C and V keys on the campagn map now have various functions to make it easier to see all your pieces/make moves. I forget the order, but one lets you visualize the sea zones and which ones are friendly/blockaded/empty, one lets you toggle between your pieces and everyone elses, one hides/displays castles, and one toggles beween armies and agents.
