Default Re: The Dominions 3: \"Wishlist\"

Some more UI suggestions:

1)When recruiting units, you should be able to recruit multiple units with shift-click or ctrl-click. Shift click could be 5 untis ctrl-click could be 10.

2) There should be a button called "Recruit troops" , that automatically recruits troops until your resources are used up. You could either make the recruited troop chooseable
(right clicking on the recruitment button would open up a palette of the recruitable troops in the province and you could create a template that should always be used when you click the button) or it simply recruits the units with the best Rcost/gcost efficiency, so that you get the most heavy troops possible for your gold.

3) This one is trickier to implement, but it would improve the UI considerably. Right now artifact creation is a pain, you basically have to remember all the pathcosts to know which mage can forge which item and even then you have to hunt down the specific mage and tinker with all the path boosters.
It would be far better if there was a create artifact screen, that shows you all the artifacts you can create with your researching/defending/ally summoning mages. Then you simply click on the things you want and the program automatically assigns the mages to the artifacts(assigning those with defend orders first, then the worst researchers, then the summoners. (bonus points if you can assign dwarven hammers to those mages, and even more bonus points if they get boosters assigned automatically if needed).

4) This has probably been mentioned before, but there should be a limit in the pool gems screen. As in pool all gems, but donīt take the last x gems. Would greatly help bloodhunting micromanagement.
