I've always changed the reach to something a bit longer in Morg's it does not change the visual length, just the reach in game. Valyrian steel is supposed to be stronger and lighter, so I agree, but maybe he got the length from the books or something. In any case, it's quick to change. I also change it for maces and a few other weapons. Also, if an archer doesn't have a shield I give them an extra set of arrows and so on. It's a bit tedious to do before each version of the game I play, but it's worth it in the long run I think.

As regards siege engines, I haven't played this version yet, I normally wait for the .1 or .2 version, but if he took them out it's because siege towers took hella long to get to the keeps, then turned into the same ladder thing as normal only a few less characters getting killed by archers.
As to more than one ladder, it was only useful for the player, even if I told my troops to follow me they'd all go up the same ladder.

Companions can now be found in certain places and towns. Well unless there is a bug making them not appear at all, the wiki has some locations, help fill it in if you find anything. I find it's a bit more fun than gathering them all, I always head right for Alyn and Fenna. They start at nice low levels and you can make them into beasts (used to be better when you could play as them).
