three unrelated suggestions
Three unrelated things: - I've come to think about Taqwus "Forced March" proposal again. I really like the idea to be able to trade battle force for mobility, but I think it should not be generic and available to everyone:
So a forced march should give ordinary living non-flyers, non-swimmers an additional movement point at the cost of a temporary moral loss and initial fatigue.
I think that the fatigue obtained by forced marching should be based on the encumberance score and that 0 encumberance units should be excluded. A soulless is already marching at his top speed, so there is no way to force it to move faster. So maybe the lifeless and mindless tags should prohibit forced marching too.
Maybe "forced march" could allow to move one single step behind enemy lines, like flyers are able to do.
- It's ok that the world population will eventually drop to zero in a war of gods and raw magical forces, but I would really like to see more immigration effects due to bad/good scales, high/low taxes, natural disasters and good/bad scales.
- The map editor should allow the deletion and adding of white dots while preserving the semantics of the map file. Have you ever added or removed one or two provinces in a map? The renumbering throughout the file is a pretty dull and error-prone task.
Idea: All province numbers should have a unique syntax, e.g. like adding braces to distinguish pronvice number [32] from the terrain modifier 32 or for the unit type number 32. It would make manual editing much more simpler (search and replace) or allow lazy bats like me to come up with an external tool for renumbering map files, as one would not need to care for the semantics of all those numbers inside the mapfile...
