    I never noticed it before in RTW, but on the battle field, it gives an explination why a unit's morale is what it is.
    Eager (Encouraged by the General)
    Wavering (Panicked by fire attack)
    Steady (Panicked by artillery fire)
    Heroic (Oblivious to the world)*
    etc etc

    Interestingly, units on the city plaza can appear to be "feeling safe on the hill".

    RTW, 167 BC: Rome expels Greek philosophers after the Lex Fannia law is passed. This bans the effete and nasty Greek practice of 'philosophy' in favour of more manly, properly Roman pursuits that don't involve quite so much thinking.

    Hmm... Well some of the barbarian plazas are raised (not just a hill but the plaa itself). But if you see it on Roman plazas then it is odd.

    Well even the roman plazas are in a way on a hill as well.
    It is a tiny hill of course but you seem to need stairs to get to it.

    My favorite little thing (aside from not horrible AI) is the speech where the Roman general says:

    "And I bet you are wondering about this evenings entertainment. There is enough win in camp to float a boat..." ...I love that one.
