Re: Patch Improvements
 

Could we _please_ get a mechanism to save in-game messages to a plain old text file? This would make keeping track of diplomatic status so much easier, as well as AARs if all messages (including random events & battle reports) could be saved there.

Nothing fancy, just :

Turn 2: A message has come from Ermor: I propose a 20 turn NAP.
Turn 2: Random event, 1500 gold and 3 magic items.

I like 5,8,11,13,18,19,22,32,47,48,60,64,67,D,G and Cainehill's request to save messages.

Re: Patch Improvements
 

What I'd love to see is a little modification to 'M'onthly rituals, so that when the spell chosen for monthly ritual is a "magic site searching type" like acashic record, gnome lore or whatever it automatically cycles through all provinces under control, which hasn't been searched yet (and when all are searched stops casting and revert commander to defend action).

Edit. Another thing that comes to mind is an ability to buy defence to multiple provinces at once (at F1 screen) instead of doing it manually for each one.

Re: Patch Improvements
 

I believe that both of those are already in the game.

Re: Patch Improvements
 

Automation for monthly site searching spells exists, but is extremely buggy and rather limited in scope as it doesn't check to prevent overlap between two mages on the same turn.

Re: Patch Improvements
 

Hmm. I must have missed them then.

Edit. Doh! I didn't notice that when I played this for the first time. Old Dom2 habit i suppose. Sorry for your trouble.

Sorry for the delay... was busy getting a promotion at work.

1.Include Province numbers on all messages that use province names.

2. Always have a way to go to the province referred to in messages.

3. Hilight the new magic sites on the province status screen each turn.

4. Have the monthly orders check for duplicate orders so you can assign more than one mage of type to search for magic site.

5. Add a print map function that includes the province number in the printout
6. For us data freaks... an export command .. for province info and current messages

7. Include messages for all commanders that are killed by causes other than battle . I still feel that I have commanders just disappear off the map. I assume some catastrophe has occurred (lightning strike, assasination, succubus) but I never know for sure.

8. Show recruitable commanders on the status screen. maybe an icon for your default fortress recruits but specific listing of others especially unique mages.
Its awful to come back to a province 6 moves after you conquered it and discover or rediscover that it has a unique mage available.

9. Show the name of the saved game somewhere on exiting. Its a drag trying to remember which game you were just playing if there are a bunch of them on your continue game list.

Thread necrophilia!
 

Harr, I found this thread looking for something specific. And now I feel like bumping this. I think 1), 14), 67), 68), 72) have improved, yes? This list is really nice. There are some useless wishes on there, but many things that I wished for before are included. And many wishes to improve things that I took for granted, too. Even though the original people that are cited here have already vanished by now: great list!
