I would like if pavises doesn't count in melee... Currently they do, making pavises crossbowmen terribly powerful in melee as well as in ranged fights.

More in-game text would be nice. Like when you right-click a unit in your recruitment tab. I always liked reading the longer texts they put there in RTW.

The option to assassinate your family members. Ain't I cruel? XD

Option to "disband" agents like with army units. I don't know exactly, but I couldn't do this with one of my assassins whom I didn't use anyway. I'd gotten short on money so I had to economize here and there.

- Units seem to react very slowly to orders.

I actually like this (but not all the way).
I'd think that the commander gives the order, who gives it to the commander of the unit somehow and then they react. Whatever the case, I bet it'd be difficult on a battlefield to order issues and have them carried out exactly and perfectly fast the way you'd want them to.
When the battle hasn't started yet and things are more organized following orders must be quicker and more effective. But the more distance or disorganization there is on the field (due to battle conditions and whatever else following orders should be slower and such. Just imagine your general being at one side fighting off infantry and another unit all the way on the other side fighting off cavalry or infantry. I think it'd be very difficult for them to respond quickly.

Why is not posible to build more then one Castle or city i each provice? Lets say in Constantinople province can be also castle of Edrine (Adrianopol). Or we need more provinces then.

And hey where is Bulgaria?
This province Sofia(today Bulgarian capital) have noting to do with the old Bulgarian capital Preslav which is more East .The name of Sofia in 900 was Sredets.

I wish for cavalry not to be so powerful... I wish that Khazaks can't defeat JHI and Dismounted Gothic Knights by charging them.... Or dedicated anti-cavalry units such as Armoured Spearmen. They are after all the weakest sort of cavalry there is. Yet it is farily easy to do this in custom battle.

If the armor system was working properly they'd have separate values vs ranged and melee...

Would like diplomats stationed in a region to improve relations between the owning faction and the diplomat's, based on the skill of the diplomat. A sort of conversion effect to counter the strange deterioration of relations on VH in place of constantly giving away freebies to the computer to keep it happy.

Would like "empire bloat" eliminated from the game. The game starts handing out bad traits like new toys at Christmas once your treasury hits 50k.

Would like cavalry to be a bit more resilient, particularly against archery. Right now peasant archers rip through advanced plate. The loss of the shield is particularly unbalancing.

I want gunpowder and pikes as Byz. I remember using arquebusiers in MTW as Byz but they were hopeless (I modded them a bit). Now they are good but Byz don't get them... what a way to go.

Would like movement speed in friendly territory to be increased somewhat so that it doesn't take me 3 turns to march reinforcements from one city to the next.

Would like princesses to be able to seal alliances by marrying lesser lords instead of only the crown prince. Would like marrying a lesser lord to seal an alliance rather than switch him over to your side and get your neighbor upset with you for trespassing. Would like a panel to pop up listing available foreign suitors for each unmarried princess that you can use to initiate diplomacy and negotiate for her marriage, or some way of telling who's available other than walking over to check. The way it is now your princesses wander all over the map hoping against hope that someone actually wants to marry them in the next city they visit, then spend the rest of their lives with their newfound husbands trying to flee the country.

Would like the princesses to have a CharmStarter trait that gives them 3 base charm so they don't always give bad traits when married off.

Yes, the special _ex line that can't be used. That would be able to do that. But if you fight regular Crossbowmen and Pavises you will notice a difference in their capability in melee. That shouldn't really happen.

At best the pavise should protect the back, but it seems it protects the front in melee.
