I particularly enjoy sieges which involve citizenry attempting to blitz my army of one thousand plus men. <_<

From what I've heard of previous Total War games, you were able to see the full lineage of a certain Royal Family, and the inclusion of markers where one had a Heroic Victory.

Speaking of which, have you played the game with the most recent patch? It seems that every victory I have wherein I lose under 20% of my forces, I get a 'Heroic' Victory.
