It would be very helpful for a lot of people if there were loads of options we could switch on or off or move a slider up or down in an advanced section of the options menu.

For example- you don't like the speed- normal is too fast. Have an option to have the speed halved- or if you think it's too slow you can have it sped up a bit. similarly for kill rates.
Another one would be an option to choose whether we want merchants to be automatic or to be micromanged.
For me, I'd like the ability to change the battle minimap so there aren't those stupid arrows, and instead we can see the displacement of the troops as they actually are all the time on the minimap. You just can't tell what units are doing currently unless you are looking right at them, the minimap is almost useless. Lots of people complained about it when it became so in RTW and it's still there now in M2TW.
I think about 3/4 of the little niggles people have been experience that aren't die to actual bugs could be solved right away with the addition of some simple options. So, instead of keeping everything hidden away in burried files deep within the hard drive, pleaase put loads of options we can interact with on the screen by ticking or sliding or selecting which one we want.

Thank you for a great game so far:)
