I suggest the following: when your army is located in an enemy's province, you should be able to select the target for your army to siege. In current mechanic you start a conquest of a province from siege of a major strongpoint, and it is far to be historically correct. In fact, the situation was almost always the opposite: a conqueror's army took every weak holding and started the siege of a major strongpoint only after that.
I think that adding an ability to choose the target for a siege would make a great impact on all of game's mechanics. For example, pagan invaders will be able to skip the siege of a castle and proceed to the siege of a city or a church at once. A provinces that bordering pagan tribes would have a great disadvantages from repeating looting of their cities and churches during raids. It would make pagan tribes much more dangerous for more civilized nations. But they were actually dangerous, right? Such raids were permanent on roman Rhine and Danube limes, when small groups of germanic pillagers crossed the river in multiple places, then looted some poorly protected settlements and retreated before arrival of roman forces. Four centuries later vikings will loot european coast the same way. This tactic was also used by civilized societies too, for example, mutual raids of Byzantium and Caliphate on each others territories.
Anyway, I believe that this new option will cause significant changes to a warfare in the game.
