Just have to get it off my chest

[st.patrik]

Ok I have a game suggestion which I've been thinking about for months and I just need to make it. I know it's pretty much absolutely ludicrous to make a game suggestion when the beta is at Version 2.01, but here goes anyway:

It bothers me that province defense is made up of national troops, when you can't build them in the province. It makes much more sense to me, given that province defense is a measure of how well local defense is organized , that defense be made up of local units, obviously changing for each province, but of roughly equivalent strength. So a feudal province might have a commander and longbowmen (up to defense 10), whereas another province might have crossbowmen, or heavy infantry, or amazons, if they are recruitable there. IMO they wouldn't need even to all be perfectly balanced - it would add depth to the gameplay to have certain provinces more ably defended than others. Of course if you were to have a castle you ought to get national troops - in fact perhaps a slightly improved defense over what you get in Dom I (thinking of Man here).

OK, suggestion made. Now I can rest a little easier knowing I at least threw it out there, even though it is almost certainly too late to be implemented, even if the devs thought it a good idea.
