can u put a option on limited resource i quite like it, maybe it could be altered, say maybe events that can "increase reserves" slower derogation etc.
really enjoying playing this work in progress if i had modding abilities i would of done this along time ago well done.
i have a few suggestions i'll keep them to editing existing (i think) rather than new as requested
A. the old Arabia problem rapid expansion (excellently represents real life in this mod Libya-Samarkand by 680) and rubbish economy (not representing real life) can u start Arabia with a great prophet(Muhammad) witch can build The Masjid Al-Haram, possibly put temple of Solomon in Jerusalem (i know it had been destroyed) the financial benefits might help to make Arabia more playable(the sphinx is not in Cairo?).followed by an independent (can they appear like the celts do?) north Africa Carthage(Tunis after Arab conquest)Tripoli-Marrakesh and Cordoba/Toledo/Valentia rising with Islam/Judaism maybe Christianity maybe with its wonder in Spain which leads to
B when playing as Spain the whole lack of reconquista is disheartening southern Spain should not be included in spawn zone of the original Spanish and the capitol should be Santiago in the north west tip of Iberia. Europe need to crusade what else would we do before oceanic travel and guns lol.
note i have read u may plan to put a cordovan/north African Islamic state at some point which i assume would rectify some of these situations
i think Ethiopia may be to powerful, 1st around the world and Inca/Aztec to boot. maybe that's just my eurocentric imperialism tho lol. or maybe they just had a good game.
Egypt seemed spot on. Phoenicians hard, ended in true fashion exiled from Levant by Persia then my mighty Carthage crushed several centuries later which for me is perfect.
p.s. good luck with project combining all, great idea. as well as other original ideas i have read u discuss, like limited naval travel ect. will be playing. yeah total war is awesome being playing for years got ROME (RTW/RTW:BI/Alexander+ExRM) Medeval2 and Empire between that this no need for crack, not enough time for life.
