will you be able to mod the sound file

OK - so these aren't modding questions, but I'd still like to get answers!

How is retraining handled in M2TW - same as RTW or will there be limits like STW and MTW?

Will the AI retrain units after battles where possible (ie after winning a siege as either attacker or defender)?

Will the AI coordinate its armies better on the campaign map rather than sending small leaderless stacks? (There was some improvement in BI over RTW in this respect, so I'm quite hopeful).

Is there any room for me in your rucksack? I'd quite like a trip to the CA develpoment studio as well...

I'm just repeating some points:

1) Faction limit, is it 20 or 30?
2) Provinces limit?
3) Unit limits? Model limits?
4) Scripting is the same as in RTW?
5) Are there gonna be official modding tools? If so, which ones?
6) Will the full game be "packed" like the demo? Or is it more open?

That's about it for modding questions. Now, some other questions:

1) How much has the "protectorate" option been improved?
2) Changing cities to castles: Can a large city (a fully built one) be converted back to a castle? If so, will it start as a "lowly" castle again or will it be a higher tier castle to represent the upgraded status of the city?
3) How much time has been put in AI programming?
4) How much does M2TW resemble MTW? Some "small things" (like civil wars) appear to be cut. Is this true?

Not modding related and I donÄt know if it's been said yet, but:
Can factions re-emerge?

I second this question as well. Related to that, I also second Faenaris in asking if civil wars are in or out.

Finally, will we see hero generals show up as in MTW (i.e., El Cid, William Wallace, Joan of Arc, etc.)?

I would like to know if campaing battles replays are in. CA staff said that at one time they were in, but were taken out again. Any news on this would be great Richard

I really would love to know if you can now 'withdraw' from battle when being a defender too when on the battlefield during the campaign. In RTW, you could withdraw units from battle when attacking, but you simply could not when you were the defending side. This really annoyed me.
