Hi All,

Been a long time reader and would like to share a few thoughts.

Sorry if this has been covered but I checked most of the wishlist threads:

Bribing: I would like to see a return to the way you could bribe armies in MTW. It was great to have a few Muslim units mixed in with my Catholic Armies and seemed very unrealistic in RTW that they would all just disband into the fields unless they were in your unit roster I dont see this as a major change in programming as bribed units could be treated exactly like mercenaries in RTW which were upgradable but not retrainable. It adds variety and immersion.

Elite Units: As others have mentioned make them expensive and also take several years (errr turns?) to train. I think this would help with game balancing ie: longbows.

Fortify a Border: Just a thought but maybe include an option in your build queue to Fortify a North,East,West or Southern border?? Benefits on the strategic map would be more visibility and less rebels wandering through your territory. This should take a while and be expensive but could help with your strategy on which way you expand particularly for Nations that are surrounded. Maybe on the battle map it could be represented by pre prepared defensive positions, earthworks etc.
