You reflect my opinion exactly. Instead of fixing this, fixing that, complaining about this, complaining about that, I'd like a thread that goes: "This stuff that happens when... is really fantastic. Great work CA!" once in a while.
I like the game the way it is, and although I might come to insert some minor changes to suit my personal preferences, I'm just trying to enjoy it as is right now. All that bickering actually makes me enjoy it less, though it holds a morbid fascination for me. I still trust in CA to set some stuff (shield stuff, 2H weapon units, unit cohesion, etc.) right with their next patch, but until then I can come up with a reasonable in-game explanation for most things that bug me. If units aren't coherent, for example, that is most likely a more accurate rendering of historical "truth" than neatly geometric blocks of infantry, cavalry and artillery dashing it out with each other, instantly replying to commands and acting exactly the way you planned them to.
