Playability Wishlist

[Sandro]

Here's my interface improvement wishlist, created by distilling ideas from one week of intensive playtesting :

• Simple battle results: Wether the player won or lost a battle should be shown in the battle message topic, not only in the message body.
• Simple magic-site results: Simple magic-site search topics (You found x number of magic sites in province X OR You found no magic sites in province X) would increase interface accessibility in the message window.
• Gems always shown: The list of magic gems in the rituals list should "follow" when scrolling through the spells, as opposed to being stuck at the top.
• Monthly production: To produce a certain set of units and/or commanders every month, like monthly rituals. Would be a great addition!
• Lock research: Being able to lock schools when managing research points would be of great help.
• Typing in numerical fields: Being able to type in numbers in the Tax and Mercenaries bidding fields would greatly decrease chances of headaches and blistered fingers.
• Message filters: This is my single most wanted interface addition. To be able to filter out certain message types (eg. X-army is starving, Y-mage has cast Z-spell, Q-commander has patrolled W-province) would make my day!
