patch wishlist

pope --> several reports re how (when two catholic factions are fighting) the pope seems unable to identify the tresspasser (i.e. the faction attacking you first), then gets mad at you. This happened in MTW I as well and is very disturbing as it messes up the otherwise interesting impact of his Holiness on the strategic gameplay. I think its only the 'who-started-identification-mechanism' that needs fixing, so this may be doable in a patch.

The rest of the stuff i agree with but i think this is deliberate. The Pope will intervene to stop nations from getting destroyed. For example, if you are the HRE and The Danes attack you then they wont get a warning. The Pope knows your big enough to handle them. If you retaliate by invading Denmark, The Pope will go nuts at you, even if the Danes started the war because you are a far bigger nation. he knows that without his help you will crush them.
If The Pope always opposed the faction that attacked then this would lead to exploitation of the AI. Players would just goad smaller nations into attacking in order to get The Popes backing.

I'm hoping for the OPTION for limited_ammo to be re-introduced back into the game. Removing OPTIONAL configurations from a game seems like a step backwards, instead of forwards IMHO.

Apparently there is a bug with replays. They do not always play back correctly, this always seems to happen when a new total war game is released and always seems to be fixed within the first patch or 2. Hopefully fixed before I get the game for xmas *crosses fingers*

I wish they would reintroduce flaming pigs to scare those elephants

Dude, over here! I have my own private concrete bunker over here, quickly, hide! If you don't get inside soon, you probably won't survive the backlash. Quickly man, your life and the lives of all your pets are at stake!

I'll second the "Get off my Land" and an intelligent Pope.

I would also like the lag when the AI only has one ladder left when sieging to be fixed, and, please put sea battles in lol.

Hi,

Things I would like patched/changed

1. Slight AI tweak; So far I've really enjoyed the games Battle AI, it does seem far superior to RTWs, however sometimes it does just stand there and allow your missile units to destroy them, I'd like that to be changed.

2. Get off my Land!

3. I'd like to see the return of dismounting units prior to battle. It really annoys me when I can't use my Knights in seiges because they refuse to get off there horses. I'd even like it if repeated use gave you traits that lowered your chivarly as this wouldn't be considered 'fair' fighting.

4. I wanna be able to play every faction from the start without having to edit a file.
