Default Re: Personal wishlist

Yes Dom2 had a changing map but it was also entirely pixel with no fills (no mountains, trees, etc.)
And the hard part of doing map overlays in Dom3 is the variable borderlines. Dom3 actually makes no use of borderlines, they are just for player convenience. However the next game (Conquest of Elysium 3) has a map of squared tiles, and is able to change for seasons or have a tile changed by spells or events.

@MinorKitty
Even in its heyday the developers are not big on adding to the game things that can be done better by using a 3rd party program. Some of those things you mentioned can be done with a macro recording software such as AutoHotKey. Recruit queues, forging queues, waypoints, etc.

Things such as Battle Statistics could be done if one of us writes a program to pull the info from the debug file (running the game with -ddd switch)
