Anybody else dislike the endgame?

When will we have the ability to rename/put notes on commanders? With my disintegration strategy it is very important that I know what group a mage belongs to and what magic it has. Once you have 30 mages, this gets extremely hectic.

Ctrl-click the commanders you want to be grouped. Thereafter, when you click on one, they all become selected. Not gonna get any easier than that.

Endgame?

That has been the single most important feature of Dominions II at least for my group.

Now we have the option of setting victory by victory points. Select the 1 vp/capital and no other sources of victory points. Then select how many capitals one has to take to be the victor. (about half is what we use)

This has improved play immensely. Before this we never played until the end. Standard victory conditions is no fun.

Renaming commanders will be included in the next patch.
There will, also, be an option in Game Creation menu to turn it on/off.

I like the endgame more than anything. But I also love micromanagement, so . . .

I have a habit of pressing CTRL + A. Once you do that, all your hard work is flushed. This feature only covers 20% of what I need. The other 40% would be notes. the OTHER 40% would be having the ability to tell the game exactly how to sort the mages.

Edit: one more thing. YOUR AVATAR IS DRIVING ME INSANE!

I don't think there are too many things about this game that are "obvious". Besides which, I have no way of knowing what you know and don't know. If you didn't find my post useful or helpful, then ignore it. I'm sure there are many readers out there (both registered and guests) who aren't very familiar with the game, and can use any tips they can find. That's one of the main purposes of this board...to pass on knowledge of the game.

Moloch made me do it!

At the risk of stating the obvious... there's an option in your user profile to hide avatars of other Users.

EDIT: At any rate, it's only the avatar of the week, and she'll be gone soon. Then you'll surely miss her.

EDIT2: For those of you who are fans of Boris Vallejo, the renowned fantasy artist, feel free to click on the link in my signature file and save the pictures to your hard drive. I'll be linking a different one each week (for a while, at least).
