Wish List

I believe the idea of a printed unit list was discussed before publication. The problem is that with so many units, the cost would just be obscene. PDFs would be nice, but that was nixed because electronic documentation might increase the rate of piracy.

Which is peculiar, since IW appears to be supportive of Zen's (and others) efforts to publish the PDF documents you speak of. The Shrapnel site already hosts Zen's MIQR, and I have little doubt they'll also host his other docs when they are ready.

I think it's more accurate to say that IW hasn't done the documents themselves due to a lack of time and resources. They can work on the game, or work on the docs. I'm sure most of us prefer they spend their time on the game ...

Hey, all I know is what I was told when I was editing the darn things.

I'd like to see the resource-sucking effect of fortress admin only apply to unused resources. So you could still build units in provinces with two adjacent fortified cities.

Here's a completely fluffy

suggestion: I would love to see moddable "skins" for the UI...perhaps one for each nation. For instance, Man's default UI skin might be a stony grey, outlined by Celtic knotwork...Arcosephale's might be a white/grey marble. And so on.

What about... when you capture the home province of another god, the...(arg, I don't remember the true name for this) trouble is 200. So you need to pacify the city or/and be nice with the population for a while before starting to hire troops from there.

I know I have fought and fought the "there is no game saves because its PBEM" but I had a thought.

Maybe at the menu where you hit HOST to have it actually process the turn, we could get 2 more buttons. Save backup, restore backup. All the game would need to do is save another 2h but name it something like bak. The restore just copies a bak over the 2h.

Hmmm I wonder if that would be confusing to any gamers who multiplay. Do you think it might cause "yeah I know but after I saw that I hit restore and sent a new turn for that round" arguments? Hmmmm might be better to leave it as an outside-of-the-game function.
