I miss the concept of having specific areas where only certain units can be specially recruited or where specific units recruited there have a higher honour...

E.g. Swiss Pikemen in Switzerland in MTW, Cavalry in Shinano Province in STW...

I just felt it brought more character to the world map. It also gave me an incentive to WANT to capture a Honour-giving/Unit-producing province.

Sure, in M2TW, we get different trade goods and guilds, but it's just not the same... To me, a province is just another province, just different shades of green or brown, trees or no trees...

Sigh... Anyone else wanna commiserate with me?
