Sadly... I think that a War of the Roses mod really stood a chance of becoming a reality if they kept in the MTW mechanisms of marriage and crusades - that way, marriages could be arranged - as they were historically - between the great families, while crusades and jihads would stand in for the chevauchees and expeditions during the war. I mean you can get the look of it in RTW and you can have family factions but you got the limitations of the game engine...

Best wishes and best of luck though DJ, wherever you are! Hope that you can still realize the WotR game that we all dream about!
