I think this idea of small maps with focused conflicts is the right path to take as it has been a success in the past (STW, and VI). Besides I think it is more realistic for a final goal to be control of Britain, the baltic or the holy land, not all of europe.
Definitely.


If the new campaigns include new units then it will be possible for modders to create a teutonic order faction for the main campaign using those new units i guess.

Also CA need to have *cool* stuff like cannon elephants and heroic abilities to make the game have as wide an audience as possible. As long as the games are moddable, people who like things historical can mod them out and we get the best of both worlds. CA will sell a lot of copies providing them with the money to keep improving the base game and people who like a harder more realistic game can make it for themselves out of the games toolkit underneath the vanilla game.

All good.
