God, I forgot one of my earliest ones. The thing that totally freaked me out during my first M2TW battle : the "no-longer-Attack-Of-The-Clones" system.

It's great, there's no question about that. The idea of giving each soldier his own random pick between N faces, X armors, Y shields, Z helmets etc... was nothing short of brilliant. AFAIK, only MoC does that too, and they probably mooched the idea off CA. But... those widely diverse soldiers ?
They all have the exact same fricken weapon !

Oh I agree with you, that's industrial-grade nitpicking but... wouldn't it be SO cool if, say, a DFK unit sported some guys with swords, some blokes with hammers, some with maces, flails, axes, spetums, morningstars, bohemian earspoons, bastard swords, hammers, clubs, clubs-with-a-nail-innit, glaive-guisarme-glaive-glaives, icepicks, and/or twin-pronged tallywhackers ?

The worst thing is that they kind of did that with Christian peasant units : those wield at least two different kinds of pitchforks, so you KNOW it could have been done. Only it didn't.
