I suggested some time ago, also for site and/or item modding if/when they come available.

For the original meaning of this thread, I expect that there are twice as many new features as bug fixes.
Also, I would like to see one of the above-mentioned, or even "my" idea of the #copy-command.

I would absolutely love to see a command that allows you to create heroes. I would love to create a nation with completely uninspiring national units and mages but a bunch of good heroes (~10) and see how it fares. In fact i already have a nasty idea in mind when/if they allow you to add heroes.... yes... its been percolating in my brain for some time now, and it revolves completely around heroes... heroes and a wonderful book written by a fellow named Zelazny about another fellow who never claimed to be a god. Then again he never claimed not to be a god. Circumstances being what they were, Neither admission could be of any benefit. Silence, though, could.

I hope magic site modding would be included in some future patch, mainly because being able to make personalized starting sites for modded nations would be nice.

I'd like to see a much improved messaging options (to delete only one, copy&paste, settings that allows you to choose 2 or 3 or more nations but not all and so on)

Some (even most basic) support for alliancs in MP games, which could be used for temporarely alliances in regular MP games as well as team vs team MP games.

But I guess it is unlikely to happen, since it would probably required significant changes to the code.

Cheezeninja: I guess this is a little off topic..

I would be very interested in seeing Sam and friends appear in a Mod. Although, to me they seem better candidates for Pretenders than for heroes.

I san see Sam as a strong Air and maybe Fire mage, although the “Binder of Demons” role indicates blood magic, that seems out of character.

If you don’t mind my asking, What did you have in mind?

To me the demons of that book are most definetly not the demons of dominions. His power revolves around 'electrodirection' which sounds like patent air magic to me

He would of course be immortal, as would be Taraka and Yama.

I was actually considering not making them mages at all (since they are all very specialized in their abilities). Instead i would give him a bonus shockwave attack and a built in weapon that lets him thunderstrike. It could be done either way though.

One of the national units would be the Master of Karma (body merchant) who would have the ability to heal afflictions ala arco priestess.
