Well hopefully many of the broken commands will be fixed in DOM_4. We probably won't see DOM_4 for 5 years or more, but I believe it will arrive. I estimate many of the TBS gamers will be docking on the shores of the fantasy TBS game to be released by Stardock in 2009.

Dom4? I know that the Illwinter devs are on a new project but I seem to remember something about it NOT being a Dominions development.

Which reminds me. I should reread my old scenario ideas where I groaned the lack of a #patrol command. Now that we know how to put people inside and outside of a castle with map commands I should be able to tackle some of those ideas.

The #patrol would be greatly appreciated by mapmakers. Good luck... it seems difficult getting attention for map edit commands.

Actually thats already been licked. Its done by the sequence of commands. Assigning units, THEN castle, then more units.

Yes, I know their current project is something new... that's why it'll be at least 5 years before we see DOM_4.

Are you saying the units on top of the castle will actually PATROL... thus catching scouts, spys and assassins?? Or will they just sit on top ?
The #patrol would work for stopping sneaking armies, scouts, spys, etc., ... and thus still needed.

Re: Mother Nature is pissed
True. But at least you can put castles onto a map without them being freebies. The old way and you could take them with a scout because everyone ran inside the castle. You could tax the province to death without ever bothering to try and take the castle.

Re: Mother Nature is pissed
The main reason for #patrol is so it's possible to create maps which prevent human players from sneaking armies and assassins during early game.
I've created several maps with one army on the outside and one on the inside.
