I love this game, but I'm always thinking "what if?". I'd really like to have a bunch of options to choose from before the game starts. I won't give my whole wish-list again here, just one more that I thought of last night...
Fog of War: select this option and for the whole game you only see your own hexes and the hexes adjacent to them. (Sub-option: spearmen see 2 hexes away, knights see 3, barons see 4.)
This would make a huge change to the play of the game. It would be interesting to try.
