That would a completely different game altogether... not TW

That's the thing. People seem to want the TW series to be something it isn't: at its heart it will always remain an accessible take on wargames, and many of the suggested improvements would fundamentally alter that.
That said, some of the historical inaccuracies present in RTW are inexcusable, and it has been shown by such mods as EB and RTR that historical accuracy does not equate a boring game.

May I add on top of what has been already said the incorrectness of strategic warfare system based on sieging settlements a la Medieval Europe, which would go best in MTW but is simply anachronistic in antiquity.

Mr. Cube. Could you please make me a game?Battles not big enough. They should not only contain way more people, but should be massive affairs--requiring days of manouvering, negiotiating with the opposing general, skirmishing, camps, ect. Formations should be very important, and extremely difficult to change once commited to the battle.![]()

Yes,but maybe i should mention :among the well known games-and the more interesting games.Originally Posted by Gelatinous Cube
Among those seeking more representative historical games, the titles GC mentioned are well known, and certainly more interesting/accurate in several regards. Age of Rifles is a very old title. CWBR is newer, and has AI that is far ahead of RTW's (night and day difference.)Originally Posted by Seleukos
Perhaps you meant "mainstream" vs. historical.
Rome Total War, it's not a game, it's a do-it-yourself project.
Precisely. And as long as the TW series stays enjoyable I'll keep playing.
Yup. All that stuff with siege weapons knocking holes in walls is completely out of place.Originally Posted by Mouzafphaerre
