Currently, a lot of people argue or complain about the gold economy in Dominions 2, as well as the viability of light versus heavy units.

My suggestion:

For the game setup screen, take out "World Richness", and put in "Gold Richness" and "Resource Richness" as independant settings. Instead of 3 settings - low (50%), normal (100%), and high (200%) - give each 20 settings: 10% through 200%, in 10% increments.

Master List bullets:

* Add separate gold richness and resource richness settings for new games
* Allow finer adjustment of map richness levels, in 10% increments

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">10% increments are a bit much. How about these increments?

Very Low (50%)
Low (75%)
Normal (100%)
High (150%)
Very High (200%)

Currently, you can tell a mage to "cast monthly ritual" with shift-m, but there is no way to select that in the orders list. I didn't realize it was possible until I saw the tip between turns.

So:

* Add "Cast Monthly Ritual" to commander orders list

It's really annoying when your mage runs out of scripted spells and does dumb things like cast "Charge Body" (happens to me a lot, even when they are not elec-immune).

So, in addition to the "Cast spells" order, how about three more options:

"Cast Support Spells" - e.g. fanaticsm, stoneskin, regeneration, heal, aim, wards
"Cast Summon Spells" - e.g. phantasmal warrior, elementals
"Cast Attack Spells" - e.g. fireflies, blade wind, geyser

I assume that any battlefield spells you'd want to script http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

That way your battle mage won't goof off. Ideally, you won't even have to script him anymore.

Bullet:

* Add tactical "Cast Support Spells", "Cast Summon Spells", and "Cast Attack Spells" commands

More of a question than an issue:
If an Astral mage runs out of script, will he go on self-boost frenzy a la Dom I? I can swear i have lost countless of batless in Dom I because of the spell AI casting (unneeded) Twist Fate, Astral Shield and Body Ethereal instead of Star Fires, Soul Slay or Stellar Cascades.

Saber's Last suggestions about the monthly ritual command and different casting scripts are excellent. I wish they made it into the poll (but then again, the devs can read them this way as well).
