I'm a little confused about the titles. I know that, unlike MTW/STW, you can't turn any old captain into an important person with a title, but what was 'broken' about the 'drag Duke of York to Lord Roos' system? It personalized your armies and your generals in a big way and it was one of the biggest things I felt was missing from RTW. The spontaneous appearance of 'Commander of the Armies of the East' and the like in RTW/BI was a half-hearted effort to put this back -- you had no say in who got the titles to begin with, and your generals had to be sitting around in a city to get them in the first place!

I guess I just don't see the motivation behind this change.
