I'd say fixing but is the most important, and the other things should be considered eyual.

Yea bugs first. Its the least fun thing to fix for the devs but it is the best thing for the game.

Default Re: Future Patches of Dominions_3

I would've liked to choose three:

a) New Events, because the more events there are the more interesting Luck and Misfortune become, and in the latter case, "interesting" doesn't have to equal "good"...
b) new heroes and national spells, because all nations don't have heroes yet
c) new modding commands, because I like modding

This is also my personal order of importance. I didn't vote for modding commands, because I trust that Illwinter staff does better-quality stuff than most modders.

I voted for 'On balancing existing spells, items, nations'

I woul like all the spells, units, and bless to be more balanced so there is more strategic options available, before new content starts getting added.

removing micromanagement

Me and a friend play some big MP games and after awhile most of my time is spent tracking down leaders and armies to move to the front and foraging 20bajillion items every turn that i so wish could be put on auto forge .

A que or repeat recruit commander option would also be helpfull

Thats rather a misleading statement isnt it?

It also seems worthless to have things like "fix bugs" on the same choice list as "add new nations" since they are not mutually exclusive. What good is it to choose one over the other when its different people doing them?

I want all of that stuff (every choice).

I'm greedy.

But considering there are only two devs, which includes one who fixes bugs and changes code and one who writes content like new nations and heroes, I don't really see how requesting one or the other really matters. Each guy will work on what he does (or not, as he pleases).

Hell, after adding Lanka and the demon/darkness issue fix, I pretty much want them to do whatever they feel like.

Adding new nation-specific heroes and spells can be important, as these elements give a certain uniqueness to the nation they are bestowed upon.

No, it's gathering the opinion of the community regarding the items listed.

"Fix Bugs" and "add new nations" are two different tasks and have been listed so the community has an opportunity to express their opinion on prioritizing them.
Gandalf, these items have nothing to do with who does these tasks or how these get completed. This poll is purely showing the main interests of the community regarding future patches. All main categories have been listed which is why the other category is so low.
