Minor one I'd like the ability to have an ingame notepad - maybe even tied into the year you make notes. Always thinking of stuff I want to do and then forgetting it a few turns later

Also history of messages - otherwise you need to keep a seperate (outside the game) record of agreements etc.

Hmmm. We should only need to make notes of our own future plans etc. - about a million posts ago in this thread I said something like if you have to make notes of what's happened, then the game isn't providing enough information. Your history of messages idea is the tip of the iceberg - we need to be able to scroll back through every turn of the game and recall what scouting/scrying info we had at any previous point, like Echoview for VGAP. Also what events occurred in previous turns, where armies moved, preferably even watch old battle videos. All this would mean storing old turn data in the client directory separate from the .trn file, but it could be done.

This is definitely one of the most important improvements for Dom3 - the amount of note-taking you have to do at the moment is staggering.
