What a great game. So much good, but there are some features that make it impossible for me to play extensively. Right now it's just an arcade game. I personally would like a more historical simulation.
Some people don't want a historical simulation. I get that. But for those that do, I think the following are needed:
1) Capability for a much reduced speed of play.
2) The fixed formations feature is a huge abstraction. We need column, the various line formations, realistic skirmisher formations, cavalry mount and dismount, artillery limber and unlimber.
3) One of the most irksome features of the game currently is the existence of completely ahistorical skirmisher formations. Please get rid of them. When I play right now, I just hide those units off in the back and never touch them.
