OK i know i made a post earlier about this but here me out until the end if i can't convince you then you have the right to dislike me. this is why i think game of thrones total war would be a great game:
first the diplomacy:we can all agree that the AI diplomacy is retarded in almost every total war game all it does is ask for trading partners but as a user told me when i made a first week post (which i hope he sees this new one) is game of thrones is build on the drama the small negotiations and not the major battles this is a good thing man imagine instead of just rekting the AI you would actually need him like ask for money loans (which would make the AI demanding his money back) ask for allies help and ask them to borrow military units (which will make the AI demanding payments and increasing the money demand or else he might retake his levies) you see because you would actually need the AI help it would make the diplomacy a far better thing
Second the battles:yes you could say that there isn't any major battles in game of thrones (which is obliviously wrong it's like saying warhammer doesn't have major battles which people said before they decided to give it a try) this could be a good thing we can split armies into two types skirmishers army (normal payment and upkeep but in small number 20ish numbers) that you would recruit to take small villages not only it would be the map full of small skirmishers forces that roam the land raiding towns plus when a skirmishers force attacks another the battle would be amazing too think about it what is the most favorite thing to do in the total war series is too zoom an look at the battle but what keeps us for doing this is if you do that you risk being flanked or having units wrongly positioned plus the animations and AI units path-finding is almost ridiculous now but small number of units might help this plus the animation would amazing since the computer doesn't have to care about 2000 units but only 100 units in normal skirmishes battle which would lead to major fighting animations and one on one or two one one duels.
and now major armies the one you use to take settlement and castles (it's upkeep is huge so you have to be careful about when you recruit and move it from place to place and when they take the target you can disbanded they will still be available to raise if a problem occurs ) the main armies need to be surrounded with skirmishes forces when outside you territory so then can forage or raid food.Each army would have a supply train and when the supply train depletes you start losing men so major battles like 10000 units in the field would be rare like an event that would keep you existed when it happens instead of 1 or 2 each turn.
Houses: Family trees can be expanded so much then just a random uninteresting page you would be leading only one character and his sons,while do others would be AI controlled and every turn you can make a vote with the rest of the family and the vote would be accented or rejected or you could rebel and try to become the main family which will have the major votes and decisions making.
