Things I wish the game did...

---I can't help but sit around and dream about small little tweaks or additions that would make this game that much better. Some small, some not so small but all I think would improve the gameplay.
===========
1: I wish that you could garrison archers or musketeers in forts/towers to provide extra firepower.
2: I wish there was an option on forts/towers to buy burning pitch (50 wood/50 gold?) that would dump around the fort/tower causing splatter damage on all troops below.
3: I wish you couldn't take down stone buildings with pikes, swords and muskets. Stone should only be brought down by artillery/explosives (grenadiers/petards)
4: I wish you couldn't line up on the other side of a wall and shoot troops on the near side. The wall should shield the troops (archers not included).
5: I wish buildings when damaged but not destroyed would catch fire and slowly decay until destroyed if not repaired.
6: In association with #5 I wish there was a 4th resource to gather, water. Water would be used to put out fires in buildings, to raise crops, and to support cavalry animals.
7: I wish shipments didn't just appear. Instead they should come in on a wagon (or ship) to the designated drop off point. This gives the enemy the opportunity to capture or destroy your shipments.
8: How about a HC shipment that was ordering the navy of your home city to intercept the next shipment being sent to your enemy and send it to you instead. A bit radical, but it would make the enemy player very cautious about what shipments he was sending first in fear that it might be stolen.
9: I wish villagers died easier. Seems like they are more resistant to attacks than some of my troops.
======================
---I'm sure I can think of some others, but interested in what you all think in the meantime. Feel free to add to the list, love to hear your ideas as well.
