In Game Army List Encyclopedia?

Love your game, but I sometimes find it really hard to tell what the difference is between certain army lists and their relation to each other. For example, I know how the Ming generally play but I wouldn't be able to tell you what the difference was between their earliest list, their expeditionary forces to Korea, and any of their later lists - other than that maybe they get more guns as time goes on. And as for things like the Later Jin vs the Qing... I could tell you what they represent historically, but that's about it.

How feasible would it be to set up some kind of Encyclopedia in the game's main menu where you could see a list of every Army List and be able to see what each has available when you play as them, a sentence or two on the historical context of it and how it relates to other lists?

Thanks for listening, and for what is hands down my favorite of the games on this engine.

I think this is a good suggestion. I've been going into the skirmish mode to get this kind of information, but comparing army lists that way is rather cumbersome.

One can actually simply dig into the ArmyList.txt
But I know, that's a pain to look at.

I looked at one and I don't even know how to read that, let alone know how to quickly tell what options it has vs other lists... yeah, that isn't really what I'm asking for. Thanks for the suggestion though.
