Wishlish! (For the next patch)

Weeell, I'm sure the massive two-person development team have enough on their plates without strident demands from the audience, but I have occasionally wished we could seperate out the Messages at the start of a turn into categories, such as by having tabbed windows for each Category.

This really sprung to mind while playing Mictlan and having to wade through pages of bloodhunting reports to get to trivial little pieces of information such as the fact that my army had been crushed and the survivors were starving.

So if this were easily doable, suggested categories might be:
Bloodhunting reports
Battle reports
Spellcasting/sitesearching/item forging reports
All other reports (random events, starvation, etc..)

I think this was a pre-2.08 thread? Is there some consensus that we stick to this one now?

Well ok, then here goes:

More than anything, I wish for
BUGFIXES:
- "Goto Commander" and "Goto Province" brings you to the correct commander/province in the message
- Flying carpet/ship makes you fly
- Call of the Wild only works in Forest terrain, not everywhere
Well I think there is a long list somewhere else...

Secondly, I would hope for spellcasting improvement (communion master and slave cast on same person, targeting routing armies)

Thirdly, I would gladly greet some of the interface improvements mentioned here, but mostly the one which would let you give / redefine battle orders from the "view commander" window (without having to enter the "t" screen).

Thanks for the great game so far!

I would like to see alternate nation/neutral flag graphics. Maybe a blue glow added. Then, I want to see these flags displayed on the overland map for every province in which I have a commander (hidden or not).

(Edited to change 'unit' to 'commander', I can see units well enough)

Seconded. RT-clicking a province to find out if I have a stealthed unit there is not annoying, but RT-clicking six or seven in a row, is.

Also Seconded, the request for a 'Lab' map icon.

Here, make them both classy: Take your existing flagpoles, and lean a sword against the left side if I have a stealthed unit in the province, and lean a staff against the right side if I know there's a lab in the province.

(losing control here...)

And give me a clipboard (or scroll and quill) at the base if I'm recruiting units there. Fill it with 'text' if I've used all the local resources.

And I want a SEx-y 'minister' to adjust tax rates down from 100% by one step for every y points of unrest. Here's class: Make me designate who's doing the Minister job, like a Prophet gets designated, and let him do better or worse or whatever, based on his... research ability?

"Your Prime Minister has been seduced by a Succubus, and (set all rates to 0 Last year/absconded with a % of your taxes/given a % of your taxes to the succubus...)"

On the messed up grahpics when using alt-tab...
Dont left-click to get back. Do a right-click and choose "restore" from the menu that pops up. I havent had any problems since I got used to doing that.

I'm sure I am breaking like 20 internet laws by bumping an old thread but here goes...

One suggestion.

1) When setting the Spell Script for a commander, have a window or box at the top of the screen listing what you have in the script so far....short term memory loss is danm hard to cope with in a strategy game.

But otherwise absolutely loving this game and clicking "Host" in my dreams...

For spell casters, under the 'cast specific spell' combat script choice, place a box next to each spell that you can check/uncheck to assign the repetoire (sp) of spells your mage may cast.

Replace the 'hold and attack' command with 'hold and attack in X rounds'. Place an up and down arrow above/below the number so that you can adjust it.

in the preferences menu allow the abilty to have a tone(s) played when every person in a network game has played their turn.

Definately a map mod utility...that would be special

Make 'blood hunt' a one turn only action.

that's all i can think of atm
