Default Re: Wish-List for Dominions 4

Nice stuff, well thought out. Some points though...

3. in BATTLE VIEW
q -- quit out of battle view
Space -- pause
w -- toggle map grid
f -- fast-forward the battle movie
n -- advance battle movie to next round
Sorry, no rewind that I know of.

4. COMBAT LOG the command line switch -d or -dd for more will create a debug log with that information and much more.

12. REVIEW TURNS As a pbem game it creates an entire turn file ech time you host. Saving that will save that turn which can be reviewed later. there are some player done utilities that can copy the game directory to a backup.

13. MORE NATIONS The game has extensive modding ability. In the mods directory you will find many player created nations. Some fill the ones you requested and are very well done. You can play with as many as 95 nations in one game.

14. EVENTS/MAGICSITES For diversity in magic sites there is a "Magic Site Mod" which adds many interesting ones. There is also Epic Heroes and Worthy Heroes which adds more heros to pop up. And Mytheology mod adds many interested pretenders. The program SemiRand can add many surprises to a map. One of the servers www.Dom3Minions.com has some variant games which can be quite a change and some of the versions can be played solo.

15. ONLINE SUPPORT We have a really great official wiki but its down at the moment. Im not sure if anyone has told Shrapnel. If you visit one of the main MP servers www.llamaserver.net there is a mod/map browser which is fairly complete
