One interesting potential feature with the Scots that i would be surprised if CA implemented is that in 1080, Scotland was just on the verge of a shift away from a Gaelic/Celtic kingdom towards becoming a feudal Normanised kingdom.

Now TW is all about creating your own history. One interesting thing would be to offer the player the choice of going that way or of remaining a more Celtic kingdom. This could be done by giving a single event=based choice in which you would go one way or the other influencing your future culture, build options, unit roster, etc. Either that or by using a simpler system similar to the Pagan/ Christian build option in BI - this would mean you have a one or other build option which would give you certain units - Normanised knights or Gaelic nobles perhaps?

CA hasn't really offered this choice in other TW games apart from the BI Christian or Pagan Empire option. It would be quite interesting to have developed a 14th century Celtic Scotland in which the troop roster wouldn't have been based on the spear schiltron formation. Perhaps it would be getting slightly ahistorical but is an interesting thought nonetheless. I mentioned this and Ranika expanded on it in a thread at .com - http://p223.ezboard.com/fshoguntotal...icID=217.topic
