Now to clarify I'm not suggesting that those units would be uniform. Like instead of Pavisiers have it be Foix Pavisiers with shields and emblems based around the Foix CoA. I could split certain units into more vassal specific types. The more I think about it, we MIGHT be able to do it and here's how:

Well I've always wanted to do something along the lines of having more kingdoms in the game through that method but I'm not sure how to represent that with unit rosters. With that in mind, Warman, I propose a poll for this thread: Should feudal states be comprised mainly of vassals or kept as large, homogenous kingdoms?

Your points are well-received, Jules, and make sense for a medieval game with a greater emphasis on accuracy. We just need to strike the appropriate one. We, the team members, are committed to providing an enjoyable experience for all players to our mod, with an eye for historical accuracy, but accuracy and enjoyability need to be in balance. However, recruiting units is the way a Total War game is played. Units of knights weren't recruited in real life, but levied down the feudal chain. And in cases like Shirvan, the 'cultural traditions' of that specific territory could provide the distinctive nature of Shirvan in the greater Kingdom of Georgia. Smaller states don't really have as much of a problem surviving and thriving in the R2 engine, as we've all seen. There is also a bit of a problem with the population mechanic. In the R2 engine, you can't control vassal armies, nor build improvements in their territory.

To be fully enjoyable, Total War games need to make some sacrifices to 'true' historical accuracy in order to enhance the gameplay experience.
