one personal thing I would absolutely LOVE to see would be more than one settlement in a province, I would love to see the development of minor villages (and coastal seaports areas) within a province as well as the province capital. So when an enemy army moves into the province, it can raid minor villages, seaports, and maybe even other resources (like mines or trade routes) than are not located in the capital city. This would also be great to see these sort of areas having their own minor garrison areas and minor defences.

for example... it would be wonderful to see viking raiders attacking coastal towns and pillaging them without going into siege warfare (and river-raiding using viking boats on major inland rivers would be a dream come true... it could also be something nice for moving armies over rivers using river-boats (slowly though...)
I agree.
