The only thing here, is all ideas are good but remember optimization and all work that have. Torches can be difficult to have in units. with ram agree with you, and if they can have a garrisons units to move. More realistic isn't ? I agree I play for optimizated gameplay I play with 150 pop max. Second gameplay idea, many times we talk that, but always we can't agree. I show other idea positive bonus for civil buildings. Can autorepair. Not same for towers or fortresses. Only minor building house for example. And this is a democracy haha, why don't let the player choose the gameplay or rules. In other games like sport games you decides many of rules. How many heroes. Convertion Bonus enable/disable civ bonus. Stamina Enable realistic physics. Can put in templates or random. For example classic style without territory rule. More AOK. Obviously all can mod that but not all players want mod. Only for a little thing. You can have many rts modes or gameplay and you dont bored you can try new rules ech time. I can play like Aok or AoE Saga. Like Ron, blizzard Rts. Even Total War saga with realistic and formation.
