I'd like to see merchants in villages, and more lightly guarded villages.
When you're all the way to the east/north, it's quite annoying traveling all the way to Reyvadin to sell. A possibility to recruit in Villages would be nice as well.
EDIT: In sieges, if the attackers could actually rush the "ladder" with infantry, regardless of how much they are attacked, it would be nice. Having ranged to attack while they do this, and perhaps people with shield walking in the front, making defending harder.
