Not Telling
I had a suggestion, not sure if it would be feasible but thought it would help with the strategic element of the game and help lower the micromanaging bit of the economy. In BFME1 there were capturable locations like castles and outposts and such, why don't we introduce that but instead of making random locations on each map make the maps with sections, like a risk board. For one of the largest maps have 10-16 different sections. It would be really cool for each territory on the map when you have ownership of it it starts off as a small building with low defences and if you want you can research building options to make it larger and more powerful. I was thinking about Medival 2 Total War which introduced the concept that you can make any territory either a castle with great defenses but low income or a city with great income but low defenses.
And too help eleviate the micromanagment for your empire lets cut out the whole each building gives you cp and income per tick deal and have specific buildings for each territory that either give you income in the region, a higher cp limit for that region or some other bonuses not mentioned before. So its about land yeah but its also about building up your resources which will make rushing not really possible and above all make the game more about big battles for cities and castles rather then fighting for a couple resource buildings.
What would be great to add if possible would be longer sight radius's around your city or castle and if you research your building size/strength to max it will show towers or outposts or something around the outskirts of that territory. So it would really feel like the battle of minis tirith. The enemy starts invading your minor outpost by one of your major cities, with this you can do what we saw throughout the movies, at helms deep the defenders had to hold out so reinforcements arrive and the same thing at minis tirith. Sorry I write a lot, always what happens when I get carried away with an idea.
