I DESPERATELY WANT SOME TW: R ii DEV TO READ THIS (-not a piece of crap by a long shot;):

I noticed quite a curiosity regarding the preview battle footage:

How come that around 7 min mark the Romans are able to just sail into the carthaginian harbor on their ships uncontested - the least thing one could do since ancient times is to SECURE THE HARBOR ENTRANCE WITH A CHAIN!!!

I propose the dev-team squeeze in some sort of removable barrier/trap (lets say an automated turret like any other, which would make passing ships susceptible to hurled projectiles and fire) that can only be removed once such a defensive feature is captured by infantry storming the harbor through/over nearby walls, or perhaps by some specialist units like SPIES (pre-battle attempt like the old one with disabling city gates in RTW1 maybe?).
