Re: Wish-List for Dominions 4
Here's another idea...
Can we get an in-game mp3 player? Something that allows us to select and change the sounds and music used. Not only does this help create more ambience (Your own theme music? Yes, please.), but also can provide an audio cue to the conditions in the game.
For example, you can set music to change when your units start reaching a certain threshold Fatigue and/or Morale.
Clicking on a province flag can tell you who it belongs to as well as how strong its Dominion is by the theme music played as well.
Finally, audio is much more amenable for modding than graphics (even those used in Dom3). This allows players to create custom factions "on the cheap".

Re: Wish-List for Dominions 4
Another one for the AI/Orders list:
Can we either get Commander order that either stay with/inside a specific squad, or have a squad order that allows them to form around the Commander?
That way, you can simply have your commander move, and your squads assigned to him/her/it simply surround him/her/it and kill anything that gets in the way. It would work wonders for buffing units like Standard Bearers and Commanders w/Leadership
I think a Hit and Away/Skirmish order has been mentioned...
And for gods' sake, why not a "Kill the Mage" spell? After the first Super-Mega-Ultra-Uber-Incantation of Mass Castration(tm), your newly-minted eunuchs would immediately make a beeline for the unconscious dork who make their lives suddenly less enjoyable, no?
The same applies for mages casting support spells. When you see all the hard work you put in rearranging the facial features on the enemy in front of you undone in a flash, you're going to find the person responsible and make him stop in a pointed manner. It's a well-understood rule in MMORPG PvP to kill the healers first.

Re: Wish-List for Dominions 4
Oh yeah, I'd also like to see battlefield magic rituals.
What I mean is that instead of casting a spell and seeing the effects run themselves, have spells that the mage has to upkeep to keep the effect up.
This allows a mage to trade off greater power (lower path requirements, fatigue efficiency) for less flexibility (can't cast another spell while keeping the current one up, and can't move).
I've seen this in other games, and think it's a neat mechanics. But I don't know if it really adds to gameplay, or complicates it unnecessarily.
