I agree that what Dominions needs is more interface improvements, rather than more content.

* More mouse support; ideally the game should be fully playable without a keyboard.

* A more interactive map. Clicking on a province battle icon should take you to the battle, for example. Different-sized icons for different sized battles would be nice.

* A more robust in-game communication system. The current messenger is pretty crude.

* The pretender creation interface could easily be combined onto one screen. So could most of the laboratory.

I'd actually like to see more keyboard support, too. For instance, when I'm selecting spells to script, I'd like PageUp and PageDown to scroll down the screen instead of having to grab the scrollbar with my mouse. Same thing with the monthly messages screen, the ritual magic casting screen, and the F5 research screens.

two minor things, but can be huge impact if careless(or tired).

1. option to have a confirmation when destroying an item. it is right next to the laboratory. I have accidentally destroyed a item or 2 when being careless putting it into lab.

2. An option to have stealth armies move normally unless told to stealth. It can be annoying as Pangaea or another stealth race with a stealth army and wanting to attack, but forgetting to hold down control button when you move that army. you may be moving 12 commanders and armies from that square and happen to miss one.

Scouts and assassins would continue to default stealth when they moved.
