Small suggestions for the next patch

Some of these aren't exactly small suggestions anymore... would belong better to NTJedi's old request thread.

I might compile and re-post later just to clean it up. Maybe get ambitious and do a tiered survey or something. I just like the discussion personally and hope some of the ideas filter up eventually. Its not like the games broken, so I still waste most of my playing hours on it

I haven't installed the most recent patch due to bugs, but LA Mictlan's PD underwater needs a-fixin.

thought land troops couldn't create underwatr PD?

Not unless the map is broken. Some maps will have a water province marked as land which is misleading to some people. They get to make PD but the PD is land-based units which dont fight so good.

Mictlan LA, due to its Atlantean heritage, is allowed to make underwater defense as per p. 124 of manual. However, it makes Atlantean Militia and land troops, instead of Atlantean Militia / Atlantean Shield Wielders / Atlantean Light Infantry, which is what should be there per p 124.

I'd also think that a nation supposedly capable of buying underwater PD should be able to make an underwater fortress where you could recruit the same kinds of units you buy for PD (and maybe even your heretofor capital only underwater sacred troops, although that might be a stretch). That, however, is an opinion. The fact that the PD in the game doesn't match up with the PD in the manual is a fact, and the fact that some units are Atlantean and others aren't makes me pretty sure it's a bug.

This was on the Cradle of Dominions map, if that makes any difference.
